"BLOCKED BY JAMES!" "IT'S GOOD! KYRIE IRVING FROM DOWNTOWN!" "IT'S OVER. CLEVELAND IS A CITY OF CHAMPIONS." 10 years ago today... Cavs/Warriors Game 7 💯

The 73-win Warriors entered the Finals as the winningest team in NBA history, while Cleveland carried a 52-year championship drought. On this day in 2016, Cleveland completed the first 3-1 comeback in NBA Finals history, winning three straight to capture its first championship 🏆

🧵 Key Takeaways: Atlanta Dream 108, Indiana Fever 101 The Dream snapped Indiana’s 4-game win streak in a wild, high-scoring battle at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Atlanta dominated inside and got contributions from everyone.846395 Dream owned the paint — Season-high 60 points in the paint. They were aggressive, got to the rim, and punished the Fever’s interior defense. All starters scored 16+ pts. Balance wins games.8bd20c Angel Reese masterclass — 21 pts (8-14 FG), 11 reb, double-double #10. She was a menace on the boards and in transition. Dream’s frontcourt is clicking.7c0542 Fever’s offense stalled in stretches — Started hot (29 in Q1) but went cold in Q2. Too many turnovers and missed free throws hurt them late. Defense needs tightening — they’ve allowed 100+ in several losses.629611 Caitlin Clark’s effort — Dropped 26 pts despite foul trouble late. Still battling, but the team needs more help containing Atlanta’s downhill attacks. Bottom line: Dream (now 10-4) look dangerous with their depth and physicality. Fever (9-6) have the talent to bounce back quick — expect adjustments from Steph White. Great WNBA entertainment! 🔥 #WNBA #Fever #Dream

@ClutchPoints CC has to calm down and play the game she's all too emotional right now

Caitlin Clark was called for her 3rd foul of the first half after Jordin Canada slipped and fell. The Fever star was LIVID 😡

Halftime thoughts from Fever vs Dream 🏀 • Indiana's offense has looked sharp, with Caitlin Clark controlling the tempo and creating quality looks. She also needs to calm down and play the game and avoid unnecessary pressure. • Atlanta has stayed within striking distance thanks to second-chance opportunities and physical play inside. • Turnovers and defensive intensity could decide the second half—neither side has been able to pull away. • Expect stars on both sides to take over after the break. This one still feels wide open. 🔥 #WNBA #Fever #Dream

@LastbornOyeniyi making a case for the MVP this season

Olivia Miles' rookie season has gone from promising to historic. ✅ Broke the WNBA rookie record with 8 made threes in a game. ✅ Rewriting franchise and rookie record books. ✅ The unanimous Rookie of the Year favorite. ✅ Leading one of the league's top teams while stuffing the stat sheet every night. At this point, the MVP conversation isn't hype—it's deserved. If a rookie is producing, winning, and making history simultaneously, Olivia Miles deserves a serious seat at the table. 🌟🏆 #WNBA
