After the Cavaliers won, their arena turned into an Indians World Series viewing party
Cleveland is on top of the sports world tonight. It began with the Cavaliers getting their championship rings in a pregame ceremony and continued on with their decisive 117-88 victory over the Knicks in their first game of the season. At the same time, Game 1 of the World Series was being played next door as the Indians attempted to follow up the Cavs with a championship of their own.
