Matthew Dellavedova: 'Adversity makes Cleveland Cavaliers stronger'

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova insists that "adversity" will make the team stronger in their NBA Finals series against the Golden State Warriors.

Matthew Dellavedova has insisted that "adversity" will make the Cleveland Cavaliers a stronger team.

Point guard Kyrie Irving became the third member of the team to be ruled out for the rest of the NBA Finals with a fractured kneecap, joining Kevin Love and Anderson Varejao on the sidelines.

Dellavedova, who is likely to see more playing time because of Irving's injury, told reporters: "There is a level of understanding for us in the group that we've followed, I think, especially over the playoffs and just that sense of team that you always have, but I think when you go through some adversity, it builds it stronger and stronger."

The Eastern Conference champions will be hoping to level the Finals when they take on the Golden State Warriors again on Sunday.
