INDEPENDENCE: By the time Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors celebrated their championship in the visiting locker room at Quicken Loans Arena last spring, Kyrie Irving was on crutches and Kevin Love’s left shoulder was in a sling.
Now both of the Cavs’ stars are healthy, along with the rest of the roster. As they enter an NBA Finals rematch against the defending champs, the Cavs at least feel like they have a fighting chance.
“We’re better built to start the Finals than we were last year. Doesn’t matter who it’s against,” LeBron James said Tuesday.
