Punchlines: Cavaliers revel in emotional victory
The more than 50-year losing streak for Cleveland has been broken.
On Sunday, LeBron James led the Cavaliers to an NBA championship, taking his hometown team to a 93-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors. After the final buzzer sounded, James fell to his knees, sobbing in the middle of the court, surrounded by his teammates. Late-night comic Stephen Colbert noted that fans celebrated with no rioting. Cleveland residents are saving those for the upcoming GOP convention.
