"This is going to be the craziest day in Cleveland."
Before Game 6 of the Finals, the Cleveland Plain Dealer used this headline to rally fans to Quicken Loans Arena.
It was at this moment that the media began to realize something—that Cleveland might soon win its second championship trophy, just after breaking their drought last season!
In a city that had previously gained nothing from the four major sports leagues, is it possible they're about to welcome back-to-back championships?
Not saying it out loud is fine, but once you do, it just sounds crazy!
Breaking a losing streak might take some luck, like Memphis back then, but winning consecutive championships is enough to prove the team's success.
The day before the game, Hansen gathered the entire team at his estate for a bonfire party.
This was the Cavaliers' chance to lift the trophy on their home court, but the pressure was just as great, because losing would mean going to Oakland for Game 7.
