History was made. The Golden State Warriors became NBA Champions for the first time in 40 years.
The Warriors once again utilized a small-ball starting lineup that had Draymond Green playing center in Game 6 of the NBA Finals in Cleveland. And after building a lead with a strong first quarter, a fourth quarter burst of splash provided enough cushion for the Warriors to hold on to a 105-97 road victory over the Cavaliers, securing the team’s first NBA Championship in 40 years.
Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala each scored 25 points in the title clincher, while Draymond Green notched a triple-double with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to go with three steals and a block.
