<P> During the 2015 -- 16 season , the Warriors broke the record for most wins in a season with a record of 73 -- 9 and Curry won his second straight MVP award , as well as becoming the first unanimous MVP in history and shattering his own record for three - pointers made in a single season by over one hundred in the process . The Warriors fell to a 3 - 1 deficit in the Western Conference Finals against a Kevin Durant - led Oklahoma City Thunder team , but won three straight elimination games to take the series and advance to a second straight Finals . The Cavaliers finished the season as the top - seed in the Eastern Conference and won their first 10 straight playoff games , ultimately defeating the Toronto Raptors 4 -- 2 in the Eastern Conference Finals to ensure the rematch of last year 's Finals . In the 2016 NBA Finals , the Warriors got out to a 3 - 1 lead , but James and Irving led the Cavs to two straight victories to force a deciding Game 7 . In a key sequence with two minutes remaining in Game 7 , LeBron James made a memorable chase - down block on Iguodala to keep the game tied , while Irving hit a 3 - point shot a minute later to take the lead . Cleveland managed to hold on to the lead to win the title and end the city 's 52 - year championship drought , with James earning his third Finals MVP honor . </P>
