While the two teams have played each other since the Cavaliers joined the league in 1970, their rivalry began to develop in the 2014 -- 15 season, when they met in the first of four consecutive NBA Finals series. Prior to the streak beginning, no pair of teams had faced each other in more than two consecutive Finals. Of these four series, the Warriors have won three championships ( 2015, 2017, and 2018 ), and the Cavaliers won in 2016.

The Cavaliers would win 10 straight games from 1992 to 1996 to reduce Golden State 's lead to 37 -- 32 (. 536 ). The two teams played each other close during LeBron James ' first stint with the Cavaliers in the 2000s. From 2010 to 2014, James left the Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat while the Warriors were a lottery team. The Warriors led the head - to - head series 53 -- 50 (. 515 ) through the end of the 2013 -- 14 season. James returned to the Cavaliers during the 2014 off - season. The Cavaliers then acquired All - Star power forward Kevin Love for Andrew Wiggins and other assets. The Cavaliers quickly became the favorite to win the East, as they already had an All - Star point guard in Kyrie Irving and other rising stars such as Tristan Thompson. In the Western Conference, the Warriors were a team lead by their backcourt of the `` Splash Brothers '', Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and a developed fast - paced, up - tempo offense, consisting mainly of three point shooting. 2014 -- 15 season Main article : 2014 -- 15 NBA season Going into the season, the Cavaliers were favored to make it to the NBA Finals. The team started off the season poorly, with Love struggling in his new role and SG Dion Waiters unable to handle being relegated to a secondary role. The Cavaliers started off the season with a dismal record of 19 -- 20. James missed two weeks in January with a back injury. Later that month, the Cavaliers traded away Waiters to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a three - team deal with the New York Knicks. They acquired three - point specialist J.R. Smith and defensive asset Iman Shumpert. The team also acquired center and rim protector Timofey Mozgov in a separate trade. These players were critical for the team 's return to the top of the Eastern Conference. Stephen Curry ( pictured ) of the Warriors won his first Most Valuable Player Award in 2015. The Warriors started off the season 21 -- 2, with a 16 - game winning streak, which made them the early title favorites. Stephen Curry immediately became a Most Valuable Player candidate. Curry was improving off of last year 's All - Star season. Klay Thompson became one of the best shooting guards, three - point shooters, and two - way players in the league. Draymond Green averaged about 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. Rookie head coach Steve Kerr was a candidate for Coach of the Year. The two teams split their head - to - head meetings that season, each winning on its home court. Irving, James, Curry, and Thompson were all named to their respective NBA All Star teams, with Curry finishing first in the all - star voting ( 1,513,324 ), and LeBron James finishing in second ( 1,470,483 ). Curry won the NBA MVP Award, averaging 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, and 2.0 steals per game, and shot 44.3 % from three - point territory. James was third in MVP voting. He averaged 25.3 PPG, 6.0 RPG, and 7.4 APG. They were featured on the All - NBA First Team. Irving and Thompson made the All - NBA team as well. The Cavaliers finished the season with a record of 53 -- 29, and the Warriors finished the season with a record of 67 -- 15. 2015 NBA Finals Main article : 2015 NBA Finals The Warriors and the Cavaliers only lost five games combined in the first three rounds of the playoffs. For the first time in NBA Finals history, both teams were coached by rookie head coaches with Steve Kerr and David Blatt. The Cavaliers faced injury trouble, losing Love in the first round to a separated shoulder. Irving left Game 1 of the Finals in overtime after fracturing his left kneecap. The Warriors won Game 1 in a 108 -- 100 overtime thriller. Game 2 also went into overtime, the all - around efforts of LeBron James and Matthew Dellavedova 's surprisingly stellar defense on Steph Curry took the game 95 -- 93. James had carried the limping Cavaliers to a Game 3 win and a 2 -- 1 lead over the Warriors. The Warriors would win the next three games to take home the 2015 NBA Championship. Andre Iguodala would win the NBA Finals MVP, although James averaged 35.8 PPG, 13.3 RPG, and 8.8 APG in a losing effort. 2015 -- 16 season Main article : 2015 -- 16 NBA season The 2015 -- 16 Cleveland Cavaliers season saw the firing of head coach David Blatt ( left ), who would be replaced by assistant coach Tyronn Lue ( right ). The Warriors opened the 2015 -- 16 season going 24 -- 0, the most wins without a loss to start a season in NBA history and the second - longest winning streak in NBA history ( 28 ). By the All - Star break, the Warriors ' record was a stellar 48 -- 4, including a pair of regular season victories against Cleveland. This was the best record at an all - star break in league history. Curry, Thompson, and Draymond Green earned all - star selections. Golden State went on to break the 1995 -- 96 Chicago Bulls 72 -- 10 season record by winning 73 games. Stephen Curry became the first unanimous MVP in the history of the NBA that year. Despite their regular season dominance, the Warriors struggled in the Western Conference playoffs. After defeating the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers without Curry for several games due to injuries, the Warriors were pushed to seven games by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder jumped to a 3 -- 1 lead but the Warriors were able to battle their way back and win the series. The Cavaliers faced some challenges in the 2015 -- 16 campaign. Irving was recovering from a knee injury sustained in Game 1 of the previous season 's Finals and would miss most of the first half of the season. Despite some hardship, Cleveland performed well throughout the first half of the season. Halfway through the campaign, with a record of 30 -- 11, head coach David Blatt was replaced by Tyronn Lue. The team finished the regular season with the best record in the Eastern Conference and defeated the Toronto Raptors in 6 games to advance to the finals against the defending champion Warriors. Finals for the ages Main article : 2016 NBA Finals Inside Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland before the start of Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals. The 2016 NBA Finals saw the Cavaliers and Warriors meet for the second straight season. The Warriors won Games 1 and 2 in Oakland before the series moved to Cleveland. While Cleveland won Game 3 at home in convincing fashion, the Warriors took Game 4 to set up a potential series - clincher at home. During the game, Draymond Green committed a flagrant foul on LeBron James. After reviewing the incident post-game, the league determined that the altercation warranted a flagrant 1 foul, which put Green over the NBA 's flagrant foul limit and meant he would be suspended for Game 5. Kyrie Irving and LeBron James both scored 41 points in Game 5 to stay alive on the road, becoming the first pair of teammates to score at least 40 points in a Finals game. Back in Cleveland, LeBron James continued his explosive scoring, tallying another 41 - point game in a Game 6 rout of the Warriors that saw a dominating 31 -- 9 opening sequence and a late - game ejection of Stephen Curry. James became the first player since Shaquille O'Neal to score over 40 points in back - to - back NBA Finals games. LeBron James ( right ) posts up Klay Thompson ( left ) at the 2016 NBA Finals. With the series shifting back to Oracle Arena for the championship decider, the Warriors and the Cavaliers were neck - and - neck for most of Game 7. Late in the 4th quarter, with the score tied 89 -- 89, LeBron James made a memorable chasedown block on Andre Iguodala to save a go - ahead basket. Soon after, Kyrie Irving hit a 3 - pointer to give Cleveland the lead, and they held on to win the game 93 -- 89. This was Cleveland 's first franchise title and made them first team in NBA Finals history to come back from a 3 -- 1 deficit. LeBron James became only the third player in NBA history to have a triple double in a Finals Game 7 and became the first unanimous Finals MVP after leading in all five categories of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. 2016 -- 18 : arrival of Kevin Durant See also : 2017 NBA Finals and 2018 NBA Finals The Warriors continued their dominance with the signing of Kevin Durant ( pictured ) for the 2016 -- 17 season. On July 4, 2016, Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant signed with the Warriors in free agency. He averaged 25.1 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 4.8 APG, 1.1 SPG, and 1.6 BPG. After finishing 67 -- 15, the first team in NBA history to win at least 67 games in three straight seasons, the Warriors went 12 -- 0 in the Western Conference playoffs. They became the third team in league history to sweep all three rounds after the Los Angeles Lakers ( 1988 -- 89 and 2000 -- 01 ), doing it against the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, and San Antonio Spurs, and the first to do so going 12 -- 0 ( the previous teams went 11 -- 0 when the first round was best - of - five ). Curry and Durant became the only players in NBA history to enter the NBA Finals averaging at least 25 PPG and shooting 50 % from the field. In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers willfully made it to the Finals, going 12 -- 1, cruising past the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors in convincing series sweeps. In the Conference Finals, the Cavaliers defeated the Boston Celtics in five games. James was considered to be playing his best basketball of his career, entering the Finals averaging 32.5 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 7.0 APG, 2.2 SPG, and 1.4 BPG. He shot 57 % from the field and 42 % from three. James averaged a triple double in the finals. Kevin Love also played his best basketball as a Cavalier, averaging 17.2 PPG 10.4 RPG, 1.9 APG, shooting 46 % from the field, and 44 % from behind the arc. Kyrie Irving set a career playoff - high 42 points during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston. The Warriors and Cavaliers had a combined 24 -- 1 record entering the Finals, the fewest amount of combined losses entering the Finals ever. The series faced high anticipation as the Warriors, now dubbed as a `` super-team, '' looked for revenge on their East coast foe from the previous year 's loss. The Warriors easily took Games 1 and 2 at home, defeating the Cavaliers 113 -- 91, and 132 -- 113. Game 3 looked to be in the Cavs ' favor, until an 11 -- 0 run by the Warriors in the closing minutes emerged, capped off by a dagger three from Kevin Durant to seal a 118 -- 113 comeback victory. Down 3 -- 0, James and Irving led the Cavaliers over the Warriors to a 137 -- 116 win, including a record - breaking 49 points in the first quarter and a Finals - high 86 points in the first half. Durant and the Warriors looked to finish the series back home in Game 5. Despite early domination from James and Cleveland in Game 5, the Warriors surged ahead in the second half, fending off several late - game Cavaliers rallies, and won the title with a 129 -- 120 victory. It was the team 's second title in three years, and Durant 's first championship and Finals MVP. Golden State won the two regular - season meetings against the Cavaliers but struggled down the stretch with multiple All - Star injuries. However, fueled by the return of Stephen Curry during the playoffs, the Warriors dominated the first and second rounds of the playoffs and advanced to their fourth consecutive Finals by overcoming a 3 -- 2 deficit against the Houston Rockets. Cleveland also struggled during the second half of the season after overhauling their roster at the trade deadline with new, younger players. However, they still managed to beat the Indiana Pacers in seven games, sweep the Raptors, then overcome their own 3 -- 2 deficit against the Boston Celtics to advance to the Finals. It was the first time that the same two teams in any of North America 's four major professional sports leagues have met for a championship round four consecutive times. Game 1 was close with several lead changes. James would score 51 points. However, the game went to overtime, in part due to a controversial reversed charging foul call against Durant, a missed go - ahead free throw by George Hill with 4.7 seconds left, and JR Smith subsequently rebounding and dribbling out the clock, mistakenly believing his team to be ahead. The Warriors would dominate overtime, winning the game 124 -- 114. Several minor scuffles ensued in the closing seconds of overtime, culminating in Tristan Thompson getting ejected and later fined for shoving a basketball into the face of Draymond Green. After the game, Lebron James reportedly suffered a self - inflicted bone contusion onto his right hand after punching a whiteboard in the locker room. He played through the injury for the rest of the series, and it was not disclosed until after Game 4. Game 2 was a more one - sided affair, with the Warriors winning 122 -- 103. Curry would set his own NBA Finals record with 9 3 - pointers in a Finals game. Game 3 was also close, as the teams exchanged leads several times. Curry struggled from the field, shooting only 3 -- 16 ( 1 -- 10 on 3 's ), while James set a record with his 10th Finals triple - double. However, Durant would lead the Warriors to a 110 -- 102 victory, scoring a playoff career - high 43 points. Game 4 was a blowout victory for the Warriors, 108 -- 85, led by Curry 's 7 3 - pointers and Durant 's first career playoff triple - double. Golden State thus completed the sweep, earning their 6th championship and their 3rd in four seasons. Players of note Since the 2014 -- 15 NBA season, LeBron James and Stephen Curry have been viewed as the faces of the Cavaliers and Warriors, respectively. On the Cavaliers, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, and Tristan Thompson are the only other players to have appeared in all four NBA Finals matchups. Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Shaun Livingston are likewise the only other Warriors to have made all four NBA Finals matchups with the team. Anderson Varejão has the distinction of having played for both the Cavaliers and the Warriors, appearing in the 2015 NBA Finals with Cleveland and the 2016 NBA Finals with Golden State. Previously, he appeared in the 2007 NBA Finals with Cleveland.
