The 2015 NBA Finals begin Thursday with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers taking on the Golden State Warriors.
The Cavaliers are in the Finals for the first time since 2007 after beating the Atlanta Hawks from the Eastern Conference Finals in four games. The Warriors are back in it for the first time in 40 years after dispatching the Houston Rockets 4-1 in the west.
Both teams are dealing with notable injuries to key players heading into the series. Warriors guard Klay Thompson is reportedly set to play in Thursday's Game 1 after sustaining a concussion against the Rockets in Game 5.
