Here is the updated playoff bracket after the Cleveland Cavaliers advanced to the NBA Finals.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are going back to the NBA Finals. After a commanding win in Game 5, the Cavaliers brought their best effort to the floor in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals and defeated the Toronto Raptors by 26 points.

In the end, the Cavaliers cruised to the win and they won the Eastern Conference. Here’s an updated look at the NBA Playoff bracket after the Cavaliers advanced to the NBA Finals.
