It also marks the return of Kevin Durant to the NBA Finals. After losing to LeBron James in his previous appearance with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Durant now will go at it with a new squad and one that has a chance to do something special.

At 12-0, the Warriors have yet to lose in the playoffs and have a chance to become the first team in NBA history to go 16-0 in the postseason. While it will be a tall task against the Cavaliers, Golden State knows they have to take care of business on their home floor.

There’s going to be a lot of bad blood in this one and probably a lot of players getting tangled up. These two teams have played 13 games on the biggest stage over the last two seasons. They could very well once again go the distance this year.
