 The Golden State Warriors Bring Home Their First NBA Title In 40 Years.

Cleveland LeBron James gave his best but not enough as Golden State Andre Iguodala scored 25 points for the Warriors, while MVP Stephen Curry added 25 points and eight assists. Draymond Green, giving up six inches and 20 pounds against the Cavaliers Timofey Mozgov while playing out of position at center, had a triple-double, with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

Mozgov had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers, while LeBron James added another amazing stats to his dominant series, scoring 32 points while grabbing 18 rebounds and giving out 9 assists.

James ended the series with per-game averages of 36 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists.

Losing starting point guard Kyrie Irving in Game 1 left the Cavaliers with virtually no depth, and while they gutted out wins in the next two games with physical defense and an all-LeBron offense, the workload wasn't sustainable. Matthew Dellavedova, an emergency Irving replacement whose energetic play in the two Cavaliers wins took the Warriors by surprise, scored one point in 25 minutes on the floor.

It's a painful loss for Cleveland sports fans, who haven't been able to celebrate a title in professional football, baseball or basketball since 1964.

For the Warriors, the championship follows a regular season in which the Warriors sprinted past the rest of the league to a record of 67-15, seven more wins than any other team. It's Golden State's first title since 1975, and fourth overall, with the team winning in 1947 and 1956 when it still was located in Philadelphia.

"We knew if we keep grinding and grinding it out, we're going to win games," Iguodala said after the game. "That's what we did all year."

The forward, who didn't start a game for the Warriors this season until the penultimate game of the Finals, was named the most valuable player of the series.

Steve Kerr became the seventh coach to win an NBA title in his first season with a team.
