The mood outside was pessimistic, but on the plane to Miami, the Cavaliers' spirits were quite good.
Under Hansen's invitation, they even played Texas Hold'em on the plane.
Forcing the Heat Team to a Game 7 was already a success for the Cavaliers.

Losing was expected, winning would be miraculous.
As the Cavaliers were on their way to Miami, the curtain had fallen on the Western Conference Finals.
The Warriors ultimately defeated the Lakers 4-2, advancing to the NBA Finals.

After arriving in Miami, Malone took the Cavaliers for training at the American Airlines Arena.
The first thing they did was retrieve the money previously placed in the ceiling.
Lue didn't immediately return the money to everyone; instead, he made a bet with the players.
