Golden State Warriors News

Iguodala’s soaring tomahawk slam turned things around for Golden State, sparking the run that would ultimately decide both Game 5, and the NBA title. After Andre hammered the ball through the net, the Warriors went on a 22-4 run.

The 2017 Golden State Warriors were a walking fireworks show, and on Monday night, the world witnessed their grand finale. The Warriors’ 129-120 win over the Cavaliers capped off the franchise’s second title run in three seasons, and left NBA fans in a frenzy after Golden State exacted revenge on LeBron James’ Cleveland squad.

Kevin Durant showed respect and appreciation for the talent level of LeBron James after a hard-fought series between the two superstars.

The Warriors set an NBA record in 2016 by winning 73 games during the regular season. Then, they added Kevin Durant. But the road to the 2017 NBA title was anything but easy for third-year Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr.

The Golden State Warriors clinched their second NBA title in three seasons over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night at Oracle Arena. Here’s how Twitter reacted:

It’s been a rough couple of years for Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. Since leading Golden State to an NBA Final’s victory in 2015, Kerr has struggled with complications from back surgery, missing a good chunk of last season, and the lion’s share of the 2017 postseason.

Kevin Durant’s free agency decision swung the pendulum back in Golden State’s favor, and Warriors’ owner Joe Lacob knew it. After the Warriors claimed their second title in three seasons on Monday evening with a 129-120 Game 5 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Lacob saluted the 2017 NBA Finals MVP.

OAKLAND — On the biggest stage of his career, Kevin Durant played the best basketball we’ve ever seen from him. Just seconds after clinching his first NBA Finals victory, in his first season as a Golden State Warrior, Durant shared a special moment with his mother on the court after the game.

It’s been a golden decade for Bay Area sports fans, and the Golden State Warriors’ championship-clinching victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night is a title the home fans won’t soon forget. That’s because the Warriors became the first Bay Area team to clinch their title at home since the Oakland A’s defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Oakland Coliseum in 1974.

The Warriors got their revenge after a year of “3-1” jokes on Monday night at Oracle Arena, outlasting the Cavs 129-120 in Game 5 to clinch the franchise’s fifth NBA championship in 70 seasons. This marks the first time a Bay Area team has clinched a championship at home since 1974.
