Jan. 16, 2017: Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors

A game featuring the teams that have won the last two titles is must-see television, and this will be the last regular season matchup between the two ball clubs. As it was alluded to earlier, the Cavs became the first team in history to erase a 3-1 deficit in a Finals series.

What made their improbable title run even more impressive is the fact that two of their final three wins took place in one of the loudest venues in the NBA.

Until further notice, the Cavaliers are the champions until someone dethrones them. At the same time, the Warriors will feel they have what it takes to reclaim what was once theirs. This especially holds true now that they have Kevin Durant in the mix.
