It was an unkind ending to the Golden State Warriors’ back-to-back title run, with three championships in four years.

This whole NBA season and playoffs went off script, so nothing should have come as a surprise — although seeing the Warriors without Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson in the fourth quarter ranks right up there.
