2016 CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP

HOW IT ALL STARTED: Cleveland opened up their 20th playoff appearance on April 17 against Detroit. The Cavs swept the Pistons, 4-0, in the First Round to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the 10th time in franchise history. They followed that up with a 4-0 sweep over Atlanta to get to the Eastern Conference Finals for the 6th time ever. The Cavs defeated Toronto, 4-2, to make it to the NBA Finals for the second year in a row and third time ever (2007, 2015, 2016). The Cavs defeated Golden State 4-3 for their first ever NBA title, improving to 100-89 all-time in the postseason (16-5 in 2016), including 63-31 at home.

2016 NBA CHAMPIONS: The Cavaliers won their first ever NBA championship after defeating the Golden State Warriors, 4-3. Below are a few notes on their Finals win:

DROUGHT IS OVER: The Cavs’ 1st championship in franchise history ended a 52-year drought by major pro sports teams from Cleveland (Dec. 27, 1964-Browns).

ROAD WIN IN GAME 7: Cleveland became just the 4th team to win an NBA Finals Game 7 on the road (4-15) and the first since Washington Bullets beat the Seattle SuperSonics in 1978. The Cavs also clinched each of their four playoff series in 2016 on the road, becoming just the 3

rd team to do so since the current playoff format began in 1984, joining San

Antonio (1999) and Detroit (1989).

DOWN 3-1: Cleveland became the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Finals. Each of the 32 previous teams to trail 3-1 lost in the Finals. Overall, the Cavs are the 11th team to climb back and win after trailing any playoff series 3-1.

FORCING A FINALS GAME 7: The Cavs were just the 3rd team in NBA history to force a Finals Game 7 after trailing 3-1 (1951 New York Knicks and 1966 Los Angeles Lakers).

100TH PLAYOFF WIN IN GAME 7: Cleveland’s 93-89 victory in Game 7 of the Finals was also the 100th playoff victory in team history (100-89).

5TH

GAME 7 IN CAVS HISTORY: It was Cleveland’s first ever NBA Finals Game 7 and their fifth overall Game 7 in franchise postseason history: 1976 Semifinals vs. Washington (4-3), 1992 Semifinals vs. Boston (4-3), 2006 Semifinals vs. Detroit (3-4) and 2008 Semifinals vs. Boston (3-4).

WON 4 OF LAST 5 VS. GSW: The Cavaliers won 4 of the final 5 games against the Warriors (including last 3), outscoring them by an average of 10.4 points (107.4-97.0) per contest.

2016 NBA FINALS MVP: LeBron James won his 3rd Finals MVP after averaging 29.7 points (208), 11.3 rebounds (79), 8.9 assists (62), 2.57 steals (18) and 2.29 blocks (16). He is the first player in NBA history to lead all players in all five categories for an entire playoff series. No other player in NBA history has also ever produced 208 points, 79 rebounds and 62 assists in one NBA Finals series.

CLEVELAND'S DYNAMIC DUO: LeBron James averaged 29.7 points per game in this year's NBA Finals and Kyrie Irving scored an average of 27.1 points, becoming just the 4th set of teammates to each average at least 27.0 points. The only other pairs of teammates who each averaged more than 27 points per game in an NBA Finals series were Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, who did it for the Lakers in both 1962 (40.6 and 31.1, respectively) and 1963 (33.8 and 29.5, respectively), and Cliff Hagan (29.4) and Bob Pettit (28.4) for the St. Louis Hawks in 1961. (Elias)

o 25.0 PPG: Irving (25.2 ppg) and James (26.3 ppg) also became the 5th teammates to average 25.0+ points in a single postseason: Kevin Durant/Russell Westbrook (2014, 2016), Kobe Bryant/Shaquille O'Neal (2001-2003), Charles Barkley/Kevin Johnson (1994) and Elgin Baylor/Jerry West (1962-63, 1966, 1968). (ESPN)

o 40 POINTS APIECE: In a 112-97 win over Golden State in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on June 13, LeBron James (41 pts, 16-30 FG, 4-8 3FG, 16 rebs, 7 asts, 3 stls, 3 blks) and Kyrie Irving (41 pts, 17-24 FG, 5-7 3FG, 6 asts) became the first teammates in NBA Finals history to score 40 points apiece and the 5th set of teammates to do so in any playoff game. James and Irving scored or assisted on 97 points, matching the scoring output of the Warriors as a team. The Cavs' final 25 made FG were either scored or assisted by James or Irving.

o FIRST CAVS TEAMMATES WITH 30+ AND 40+ POINTS IN PLAYOFFS: Before they each topped 40 points in Game 5 of

the NBA Finals, Kyrie Irving (30 points) and LeBron James (32 points) became the first pair of Cavalier teammates to score 30 points each in a Finals game after doing so in Game 3 vs. Golden State on June 8. J.R. Smith added 20 points that night, also marking the first time three Cavs players scored 20 points apiece in a Finals game.

UNDERDOG WINS THE TITLE: The Cavaliers (57-25) won 16 fewer games than the Warriors (73-9) did during the regular season. The team with the better regular-season record won each of the ten previous NBA Finals in which one team produced at least 13 more regular-season wins than its opponent. Before this year, the only NBA Finals series won by a team that had at least 12 fewer regular-season wins than its opponent was in 1975, when Golden State (48-34) swept Washington (60-22), four games to none. (Elias Sports Bureau)

MIDSEASON MOVE: Tyronn Lue became the 3rd coach to win NBA title after taking over a team mid-season; The others are Pat Riley (2006 and 1982) and Paul Westhead (1980) (ESPN Stats & Info)

DEFENSE VS. GSW: Defensively, Cleveland held Golden State to .431 shooting from the field, including just .395 over the last five Finals games (4-1).

o LAST 3 GAMES: The Cavs limited the Warriors to a combined .383 shooting from the field in the last three games (all wins).

o GAME 6 FIRST QUARTER: In Game 6, the Cavs outscored the Warriors 31-11 in the first quarter. Golden State’s 11 points (5-22 FG) marked the fewest ever in a first quarter in post-shot clock NBA Finals history. The previous Finals first quarter post-shot clock low was 13, twice: by Fort Wayne vs. Syracuse on April 2, 1955 (first year of shot clock, Game Two) and by Milwaukee at Boston, May 3, 1974 (Game Three).

o GAME 7 FOURTH QUARTER: The Cavaliers stifled the Warriors in the fourth quarter of Game 7, outscoring them 18-13 in the final period (0 points in last 4:39). Golden State's 13 points were the fewest for any NBA team during the fourth quarter of a Game 7 of an NBA Finals during the shot-clock era (since 1954-55).

STRONG AT THE Q: Cleveland finished 9-1 at home in the 2016 Playoffs, which was their best mark in franchise postseason history. They won their first eight home games of the 2016 Playoffs, which is the longest in franchise postseason history (previously 7 straight home wins from 5/10/08-5/7/09). Going back to the 2015 postseason, the Cavs have won 11 straight games at The Q over Eastern Conference opponents.

2016 CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP (CONT.)

WHAT A START: Cleveland (16-5) set a franchise playoff record for wins in a postseason (prev. 14 in 2015) and opened the 2016 Playoffs winning its first 10 playoff games, the longest winning streak in franchise postseason history (prev. 8 in 2016 and 2009).

FOURTH NBA TEAM EVER: Cleveland became the 4th team in NBA postseason history to start 10-0 and the first team to do so since the 2012 Spurs (10 straight wins). The Cavs are the first Eastern Conference team to accomplish the feat. (Elias)

LUE START: Cavs Head Coach Tyronn Lue became the first NBA coach to win his first 10 playoff games, passing Pat Riley (nine straight wins in 1982) for the most consecutive playoff wins to begin a coaching career. (ESPN Stats & Info)

BEAST OF THE EAST: The Cavs won 17 straight playoff games against Eastern Conference opponents from 5/10/15 to 5/19/16. That is the longest win streak within a conference playoffs in NBA history. The previous record was the Lakers’ 16 straight playoff wins against the West from 2000-2002. (Elias)

10-0 & 100 PTS: The Cavs became the 1st team in NBA history to start a postseason 10-0 and score 100 points in each game (previous record was 9-0 record and nine straight games with 100+ points by Lakers in 1982). (Elias)

LET IT RAIN: The Cavaliers made 258 three-pointers, which were the 2nd-most threes hit in a single playoffs in NBA history (behind only 2016 GSW-306). In the 2016 Playoffs, Cleveland ranked 2nd in both three-point percentage (.406) and three-point makes per game (12.3).

12 OR MORE…AND 20 OR MORE: Cleveland drained 12 or more three-pointers 12 times in the 2016 Playoffs, including in an NBA playoff record eight straight games from April 17-May 8 (The last team to do that in the regular season was Houston from Dec. 4-17, 2015). Cleveland also nailed at least 20 three-pointers on three occasions during the postseason, which is also an NBA playoff record.

o RARE AIR: Prior to 2016, only three teams had ever made 20 threes in the 2,647 playoff games played since the NBA laid down its first three-point arc in 1979. (Elias Sports Bureau)

FLYING OVER THE HAWKS: Cleveland connected on 77 three-pointers in their four-game sweep over Atlanta, averaging 19.3 threes per game. Their 77 triples are the highest for any playoff series that lasted six or fewer games.

o FIRST EVER: The Cavs became the first team in NBA history to make at least 15 three-pointers in four straight games (regular season and playoffs) after doing so in each game of the 2016 Semifinals. (ESPN Stats & Info)

o 50.7 PERCENT: The Cavaliers shot .507 (77-152) from beyond the arc against Atlanta, producing the same total of points that would be produced by shooting 76 percent on two-point attempts. The Cavaliers more than doubled the NBA playoff record for the most three-point attempts in a series in which a team made at least half of those attempts; the previous record was held by Utah, which made 39 of 75 three-point tries (.520) in a Semifinals series against the Spurs in 1996 (when the three-point arc was closer to the basket). (Elias)

o CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH 20 TRIPLES: After connecting on 21-39 (.538) shots from beyond the arc in Game 3 of the Second Round at Atlanta on May 6, the Cavs became the first team in NBA history to have consecutive games with 20 or more three-pointers (regular and postseason). Their 46 three-pointers in that two-game stretch were also the most threes in a two-game span in league history (regular and postseason). (Elias)

NBA RECORD-25 THREE-POINTERS: In a 123-98 win over Atlanta in Game 2 of the Second Round on May 4, the Cavs connected on 25-45 (.556) shots from the three-point line, setting the NBA record for three-pointers in any game (regular and postseason).

o 18 TRIPLES IN A HALF: Cleveland also knocked down 18 three-pointers in the first half in Game 2 against Atlanta, setting the NBA record for threes in any half (regular and postseason). The previous NBA record (regular and postseason) for three-pointers in a half was 15, set by Golden State twice (March 8, 2016 and November 27, 2015). Cleveland’s previous playoff record for three-pointers in a half was 11 in the first half of Game 2 vs. Detroit on April 20, 2016.

o 10 TRIPLES IN A QUARTER: The Cavs knocked down eight three-pointers in the first quarter in Game 2 against Atlanta, setting the franchise playoff record for threes in a quarter. Cleveland followed that up with 10 three-pointers in the second quarter, setting the NBA postseason record for threes in a quarter. The NBA’s previous playoff record for three-pointers in a quarter was nine twice (Atlanta-April 28, 2014 and Orlando-April 20, 2008). The previous franchise playoff record for threes in a quarter was six on six different occasions.

o 10 CAVS PLAYERS HIT A THREE THAT NIGHT: The Cavs had 10 players knock down at least one three-pointer in Game 2 against the Hawks, becoming the first team in NBA history with 10 players with a three-pointer in a playoff game. The only team to do that in a regular season game is Atlanta on March 30, 2016. (Elias)

PLAYOFF LAUNCH: The Cavs made 57 three-pointers in their First Round series against Detroit, averaging 14.3 threes per contest. Cleveland shot 20-38 (.526) from the three-point line in their 107-90 win in Game 2 of the First Round on April 20, setting a then franchise playoff record.

CAVALIERS 2016 CHAMPIONSHIP JEWELRY COLLECTION: Cavs fans can treasure the glory of the team’s

historic championship season with their own keepsakes from the 2016 Championship Jewelry Collection. An impressive selection of unique jewelry, including options inspired by the official 2016 NBA Championship Ring presented to Cavaliers players, is now available at Cavs.com/Rings and the Cavaliers Team Shop at Quicken Loans Arena. The Cavaliers Championship Jewelry Collection was launched immediately following the presentation of rings to the NBA Champions prior to tipping off their 2016-17 season opener vs. the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. “We will never forget the thrill of that ultimate victory when all of Cavs Nation became champions,” said Len Komoroski, Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena CEO. “We are happy to introduce this collection of jewelry for fans to show off their championship pride and always have a personal memento of this special time in Cavaliers history.” The collection, which includes pendants, bracelets, earrings, cufflinks and more, in addition to the pieces inspired by the actual Championship Rings, commemorates the Cavaliers historic journey from becoming the only team to overcome a 3-1 series deficit to win an NBA title to delivering the first major sports championship in 52 years to the city of Cleveland. In addition to the traditional jewelry selection, fans can also celebrate the 2016 Champions with special key chains, paperweights and more. The Cavaliers 2016 Championship Jewelry Collection is available at:

The Cavaliers Team Shop at Quicken Loans Arena, open Monday-Saturday 9:30 a.m. -5:00 p.m. (closed Sunday), and during all Cavs home games.

For fans attending Cavs home games through the end of December, select pieces from the jewelry collection will be on display and available for purchase at designated locations on the Quicken Loans Arena concourse.

When shopping in person, there are certain items from the collection that fans can take home but most will be made to order, which will take an estimated 8-10 weeks for delivery— a good reason for fans to start their holiday shopping early.
