The 2017 NBA Finals tipped off on Thursday with Game 1 between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. And while this is the third time Stephen Curry and Co. have squared off with LeBron James and his Cavaliers for the title, the game marked the first Finals action for former Utah Jazz stars Deron Williams and Kyle Korver.
Unfortunately, the former Jazzmen fared about well as the current squad did against Golden State. Not to say that their Cavs teammates fared much better.
Kevin Durant scored a game-high 38 points and Curry added 28 for the Warriors, who trounced the Cavaliers 113-91 and took a 1-0 series lead in the process.
