Cleveland Cavaliers became the first team to overturn a 3-1 deficit in the best-of-seven NBA finals as they beat Golden State Warriors.

A LeBron James-inspired Cavaliers won the deciding game 93-89 to complete their comeback against the defending champions, who had won a record 73 games out of 82 in the regular season.

James scored 27 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds to help Cleveland to their first NBA title. "I gave it everything I had," he said. "I poured my heart, my blood, my sweat and my tears into this game."

Cleveland's historic comeback was completed against the best regular season team in history.

Led by Steph Curry, the Warriors had set a new record by winning 73 games, beating the mark set by Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls side in 1995-96.
