Throwback to Golden State Warriors 3-1 defeat

During the 2016 NBA Finals, Draymond and the Warriors were facing the Cavaliers. They had come off a record-breaking 73-9 season and were poised to win the title.

As expected, they started with two dominant wins and it looked like the Warriors were on their way to a back-to-back championship.

Game 3 was a completely unexpected rout as the Cavaliers blew the Warriors out by 30 points. But they got things back in control after easily winning Game 4. 3-1 up in the Finals. No team in the history of the competition had lost from this point. What could go wrong?

After losing in the Finals to them in the previous year, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving said ‘not again’. In the next three games, James averaged 36 points per game while Irving put up 30 points as the Cavaliers did the unthinkable.

They successfully made the comeback from 3-1 to 4-3 and got the first championship in Cleveland’s franchise history.

Although Draymond and the Warriors won the title in the next two years beating the Cavaliers, that defeat will leave always leave a bad taste in their mouth. They were part of NBA history, but on the wrong side sadly.
