The Warriors were lead by Finals MVP, Andre Iguodala, who tied for the team lead in scoring with 25 points to go with 5 boards and assists. Curry also had 25 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Draymond Green goes into the record books as one of only a few players in history to have a triple double in a closeout game, 16 points, 11 rebounds & 10 assists.
Cleveland put up a decent fight but never really got the game close enough to scare the Warriors, who put up a run of threes to break the Cavs back every time they thought they had a chance to close the gap. LeBron James had 32 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists in the losing effort. He got more contributions from his teammates but it wasn't enough. Timofey Mosgov added 17 points and 12 rebounds, J.R. Smith had 19 points with 5 rebounds and Tristan Thompson grabbed 13 rebounds and had 15 points.
Steve Kerr's adjust to start Iguodala over Andrew Bogut was the turning point of the Finals and shows how tactful Kerr was with his decision always seemingly to out coached David Platt at every turn. Now the focus turns to, can the Warriors repeat. I guess we will have to wait until next year. Once again, this was an amazing NBA playoffs with many exciting games and shots. can't wait til next year.
