It's been more than six months since the Warriors and Cavs last met in the NBA Finals, with the Warriors prevailing in six games.
The two will meet up again on Friday, and while there won't be as much at stake — especially for the Warriors — it will be a must-see matchup for NBA fans as they get what could be a preview of a Finals rematch between the two.

The Warriors have been remarkably close to unbeatable, losing just once in their first 28 games, making it look relatively easy most nights to boot.
Things haven't come as easy for the Cavs, who have played most of this season without several key players, including Iman Shumpert and All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving. Despite having Irving for just two of their first 26 games, the Cavs are still on top of the Eastern Conference with a 19-7 record.
Irving isn't back to where he was when he fractured his kneecap against the Warriors in Game 1 of the Finals last season. He's scored just 17 points combined in his first two games, including five in a 1-for-7 performance in the Cavs' 91-84 win over the Knicks on Wednesday. Still, he's expected to play on Friday, which can't hurt against the sizzling Warriors.
Studs of the night
J.J. Barea scored a career-high 32 points and dished out 11 assists to help lead the Mavs to a 119-118 win over the Nets.
DeMarcus Cousins scored 25 points and pulled down 16 rebounds as the Kings outlasted the Pacers, 108-106.
James Harden scored 31 points and added seven assists but wasn't able to help the Rockets avoid a 104-101 loss to the Magic.
Duds of the night
The Timberwolves' starters were pretty bad on Wednesday, scoring just 33 points on 10 for 31 shooting as they fell 108-83 to the Spurs.

That's hardly a way to show gratitude to a man who just called you one of the toughest players he's competed against in 20 years, Kevin Durant.
