The Cleveland Cavaliers won the National Basketball Association championship on Sunday night. In the last game of the seven-game series, Cleveland defeated the Golden State Warriors, 93-89. And the victory gave Cleveland its first major sports title in 52 years. The last time a team from Cleveland won a championship was in 1964. Its football team, the Browns, won the National Football League title. For many years, Cleveland sports fans lived with disappointment and watched teams that were not very good. For example, the Cleveland Indians baseball team lost at least 100 of 162 games four times between 1971 and 1991. And at the end of the 1995 football season, the Browns moved to Baltimore in the state of Maryland. It was a heartbreaking moment for many Cleveland sports fans. A new team, with the old name, returned in 1999. But the new Browns have not been very good.
