'You can't spell miracle without CLE': The best of Twitter on Cavaliers’ epic NBA final win

LeBron James delivered one of his mightiest all-around performances and the Cleveland Cavaliers completed the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history on Sunday, dethroning defending champion Golden State 93-89 to capture their first league title. James scored 27 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and passed off 11 assists to win the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award for the third time in his career as the Cavaliers became the first club to rally from a 3-1 deficit to win the best-of-seven series title. [caption id=“attachment_2844590” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James celebrates. Reuters](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/RTX2H3O6-380.jpg) Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James celebrates. Reuters[/caption] “We were able to put together some spectacular games down 3-1,” a tearful James said moments after the victory. “This is special. “I kept that positive attitude. I don’t know why we had to take the hard road. Against all odds.” In a testy series of blowouts — and a few blowups — the winner-take-all Game 7 providing the thrilling finale with James as the finals MVP disarming two-time reigning MVP Stephen Curry and his record-setting Warriors. “CLEVELAND! This is for you!” James bellowed in his postgame interview before being announced as finals MVP. As expected, Twitter erupted after the epic victory. Here is how Cavs’ historic win played out of Twitter
