Fans were encouraged to use the #BattleTogether which trended in Cleveland during the playoffs and across the United States after the finals.

The coverage didn’t stop after the game. The Monsters hosted a Championship Plaza Party and then took part in the Cleveland Cavaliers #OneForTheLand Championship parade in the following days.
