Warriors beat Cavaliers to clinch National Basketball Association title

Adjust Comment Print

Almost one year after the decision to move to the West Coast, Durant led his team to an NBA Championship with averages of 35.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.0 steals per game.

James was dominant as he had been all series against the Warriors at Oracle Arena on Monday. Kevin Durant led the way for the Warriors with 39 points but it took a team effort for the Warriors to overcome a determined Cavaliers' squad, including contributions from 33-year-old veteran Andre Iguodala and 21-year-old Patrick McCaw.

It's no surprise to anyone that with those averages on 57 percent shooting from the field, 47 percent from beyond the arc, and 93 percent from the free throw line, Durant earned the 2017 NBA Finals MVP to go alongside his NBA Championship.

Watch James' highlights from the Cavaliers' 129-120 defeat below.

This time, King James gave way to KD, who was the NBA Finals MVP 10 years after being picked second in the NBA draft behind Greg Oden.

Spencer confirmed that not only will the games be playable on the Xbox One X , but they will also "look better, play better". Microsoft hinted at a series of 4K exclusives, including " Forza Motorsport 7 ", " Crackdown 3 " and " Super Lucky's Tale ".

Durant drove left, right and down the middle, knocked down three-pointers, dished and dunked.

The Golden State Warriors, coming off one of the dominate runs in National Basketball Association postseason history, are expected to hoist the trophy again and have been installed as heavy favorites to win the 2018 National Basketball Association title.

Draymond Green stayed on the court in a game that featured three technicals on one play 3:08 before halftime. West, Thompson and J.R. Smith received techs after a replay review.

"I feel great, and I'm ready to pop some champagne", Green said postgame. Despite what every critic had to say about Durant, he powered through a leg injury and led his team to a 67-15 record in the regular season. It's the Warriors' fans and Durant who are going to be really happy, though.

Two playful superstars who found a way to coexist through all the questions and constant scrutiny, together and smiling as champions.
