CLEVELAND — The Golden State Warriors’ celebration went so long into the night after they finished off the N.B.A. finals that team officials had to delay their flight home by three hours, pushing it from a Saturday-morning departure to the afternoon.
Their on-court reaction to a third championship in four years might have struck some as a bit restrained, but there would be no holding back at the after-party. Not after the Warriors had made it look so easy at the end, draining all the suspense out of the situation with a sweep-sealing rout of LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers that a tied a finals record for margin of victory in a road game.
