NBA Finals, Game 1
ABC, 9pm Live
LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers face Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.

It’s the first time in NBA history that the same two teams competed in the Finals for three straight years, and it’s the seventh straight NBA Finals appearance for LeBron James. The Warriors won in six games in 2015, then the Cavs came back from a 3-1 series deficit to win a Game 7 for the ages in the 2016 Finals. Who will win the rubber match? ABC has exclusive coverage of the best-of-seven-game series beginning tonight with Game 1. Game 7, if necessary, is scheduled for June 18.
