The Chicago Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series to advance to their first World Series since 1945. They will now play the Cleveland Indians to try to win their first championship since 1908.
Saturday night's win drew plenty of reaction on social media, even from some Dodgers fans. Perhaps most notable of the reactions was a friendly back-and-forth between two of the NBA's biggest names.
