The best-of-seven series begins Thursday, June 1 and will end no later than June 18, with a 2–2–1–1–1 travel format. Golden State has home court advantage and enters as the favorite, with Kevin Durant added to the mix. LeBron James will push back looking for his third championship.

The Warriors won Game 1 113–91.
