The victory means that downtown Cleveland will be an incredibly busy place next Tuesday, since the Cavaliers open their season with an 8 p.m. contest at Quicken Loans Arena. That first game will be preceded by the presentation of championship rings and the unfurling of a title banner.

Right next door, Game 1 of the World Series will take place as the Indians host either the Los Angeles Dodgers or Chicago Cubs, approximately 30 minutes later.

After James and company ended a 52-year drought of major league championships in the city of Cleveland, the Indians now have a chance to make it two titles in less than five months.
