TORONTO (AP)— Cleveland’s Big Three has powered the Cavaliers into the NBA Finals for the second straight season.
LeBron James had 33 points, 11 rebounds and six assist in leading the Cavaliers past Toronto 113-87 to win the Eastern Conference final in six games. Kyrie Irving added 30 points and nine assists and Kevin Love chipped in with 20 points and 12 rebounds.
The Cavaliers shot 54.1 percent for the game, and were particularly deadline from 3-point land. They were 17 of 31 from beyond the arc. For James, it’s his sixth straight trip to the finals, including four with Miami.
The Cavaliers now await the Oklahoma City-Golden State winner. The Thunder has a 3-2 lead in that series heading in tonight’s Game 6 in Oklahoma City.
The NBA Finals start next Thursday.
