Friday night’s game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors has been generating a ton of buzz because these are two of the best teams in the league.
And all NBA fans know they have a very serious, special history.
Evan Dammarell is reporting that the two teams will wear very special jerseys during Friday’s game.
Eagle-eyed followers notice that the jerseys are the same ones worn during Games 5 and 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.
Does this mean good news for the Cavaliers?

The 2016 Finals featured the biggest playoff comeback in league history when the Cavaliers rebounded from being down 3-1 and eventually won the championship.
All these years later, fans still talk about that series and just how sensational and historic it was.
Now the Cavaliers are trying to make more history because they have gotten off to a great start this year.
They hold a 9-0 record but the Warriors aren’t too far behind.
They are 7-1 and have had their greatest start in years, even with an injury that sidelined Steph Curry and only minor adjustments in the summer.
The Warriors have won five games in a row, which is very impressive.
However, one of these teams will see their winning streak come to an end on Friday.
The odds favor the Cavaliers right now because they have done so well but the Warriors are probably their biggest challenge yet.
Everything about this game, from the records to the jerseys, is getting a lot of attention and it’s one of the most anticipated showdowns of the young season.
