CLEVELAND — Kyrie Irving dropped a fadeaway jumper over Klay Thompson with 3.4 seconds left and the Cleveland Cavaliers came back to beat Golden State just as they did last June in the NBA Finals, 109-108 on Sunday.

The Cavs trailed 94-80 early in the fourth quarter before rallying before a rowdy Christmas crowd. Irving made the biggest basket, as was the case in the Finals when he hit a late 3-pointer in Game 7.

Golden State had one last chance but Kevin Durant was tripped coming off a screen and couldn’t get off a shot as time expired.

LeBron James had 31 points, and Irving added 25 for the Cavs. They were down 3-1 in the Finals before winning three straight and the championship — the first for a Cleveland team since 1964.

Durant had 36 points in his first appearance in the league’s hottest rivalry.
