LeBron James came out on fire as he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a Game six victory and forced the series to a decisive finale. The 2016 NBA Finals shift back to the Bay Area on Sunday night.
James, the league's four-time MVP, displayed another all around brilliant performance as he poured in 41 big points for the second straight game of the championship round, handing the Golden State Warriors its second back-to-back loss of the season with a 115-101 triumph. The series is now currently knotted at three games apiece, with the deciding Game seven to be played at Oracle Arena.

The 31-year-old 12-time NBA All-Star dominantly made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He got his teammates involved, dishing out 11 assists, and he snatched four steals and protected the rim with three blocked shots while playing over 42 minutes.
"It's LeBron being LeBron," Cavaliers Head Coach Tyronn Lue said. "He's one of the greatest of all-time. Our back was against the wall and he took it upon himself, him and Kyrie, they put us on their backs. They've got us to where we wanted to be - and that's Game seven."
The Wine and Gold saved its season for the second time in four days and joined the New York Knicks (1951) and the Los Angeles Lakers (1966) as the only teams to trail 3-1 and force a Game seven of an NBA Finals. Now The Cavaliers have the opportunity to make history by winning the winner-take-all final game of the series and put the City's title drought to an end.
"One more game left," James, who is a veteran of seven NBA Finals, said, "and we're going to give it all we got and live with the results. I'll play it anywhere."
