2011–12 miami heat season
after winning three of the first four games in the finals with relative ease, the warriors appeared to be overwhelming the cavaliers as they moved to being within one win from back-to-back championships. however, the series shifted dramatically after golden state's all-star forward, draymond green, was suspended for game 5 after an altercation with cleveland's lebron james in game 4. absent green, the warriors were lacking defensively, as kyrie irving and lebron james became the first teammates to score 40 or more points each in a finals game and led the cavaliers to a 112–97 win to force game 6. back in the quicken loans arena for their final home game of the season, the cavaliers tied the series at 3 games apiece by defeating golden state, 115–101. after receiving his sixth personal foul in the fourth quarter, stephen curry was ejected for the first time in his career after throwing his mouthpiece at a cavaliers fan. game 7 came down to the wire. late in the fourth quarter, with the score tied at 89, andre iguodala received a bounce pass from curry. as iguodala went up for the layup, he was blocked from behind by james, in what has since been recognized as one of the most memorable blocks in nba playoff history, and among the most iconic plays of james's career. with less than a minute to play, kyrie irving converted a 3-point shot to give the cavaliers the lead. on their next possession, james was fouled by green while attempting a dunk, and made one of his two free throws to increase the lead to four. while the warriors managed to get the ball into the hands of curry for a chance to cut the deficit to one, he was guarded well by cavaliers guard iman shumpert, and curry was forced to take a sub par shot that missed, sealing the game as the city of cleveland, ohio's 52-year sports curse finally ended. the cavaliers became the eleventh team to win an nba playoff series after trailing 3 games to 1, and the first to do so in the nba finals. the warriors became the best team (by regular season record) to fail to capture an nba championship. cleveland also became only the fourth team to win game 7 of the nba finals on the road. this was the first nba championship for the cavaliers.
