Going back to the 2016 NBA Finals, the Cavs have won four straight games over the Warriors, including the last two at Oracle Arena.
In 17 games against the Warriors since the 2014-15 season (including 2015 and 2016 Playoffs), LeBron James is averaging 31.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks in 42.0 minutes, while posting 13 double-doubles (three triple-doubles) over that 17-game span. In the Christmas Day win this season, James had a team-high 31 points (20 in 2nd half) and 13 rebounds in 40 minutes of work.
In the Christmas Day win over Golden State, Kyrie Irving hit the game-winning shot that gave the Cavs a 109-108 lead with 3.4 seconds remaining and finished with 25 points (14 in 4th Q), six rebounds, a game-high 10 assists and a career-high seven steals in 44 minutes. Irving became the first player in franchise history to record at least 25 points, 10 assists and seven steals in a game, as well as the first Cavs player to swipe at least six steals in consecutive games since Foots Walker in 1978 (11/24/78 and 11/28/78).
