3 historic teams that make a Cavaliers' NBA Finals comeback seem possible

The Cavaliers enter Wednesday's Game 4 of the NBA Finals in a mammoth 2-0 hole to the Warriors. What makes the deficit monumental is how they’ve lost (blow outs) and who they’ve lost to (a 73-win squad looking to repeat as champs). However, a daunting task isn’t an insurmountable task.

Three times before in NBA history a team has gone down 0-2 in the Finals to come back and win the title. The 1969 Celtics, 1977 Trail Blazers, and 2006 Heat each had their own arduous comeback in besting a supremely formidable foe. Now, none of those teams was facing the winningest regular-season team in NBA history or the reigning NBA MVP.
