OAKLAND, Calif. -- Kevin Durant capped his spectacular first season with the Warriors by bringing home that coveted NBA championship he joined Golden State last July so determined to get, scoring 39 points in a fast-and-furious, Finals-clinching 129-120 victory over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.

Evidently, you don’t understand what goes on at FR.

This ain’t Breaking News.

Only NBA game I watched all year but it was a thing to behold. The passion and teamwork of both teams was thrilling.

[Fungi]

I agree, just did not want to be the first to say it--witness my past personna non grata comments.

[REDWOOD99]

Awesome performances tonight by both teams. Congrats to both!

[Bigtigermike]

I’ll give Durant credit. He wasn’t just riding along for a title. He was the MVP of the team and throughout these playoffs. He stepped up his game even more

[topspinr]

Exciting game.

curry and Labron both big Hillary supporters and then Labron had that stupid campaign rally for her so maybe he deserved to lose more

[Meet the New Boss]

GSW might not even have been in the finals if their dirty player Pachulia had not ‘taken out’ Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio.

Up until that injury, the Spurs looked like more than GSW could handle.

[Az Joe]

Cleveland let Game 3 get away, that killed em.

[Az Joe]

I think your right as much as I hate the Spurs,... that was a dirty deal.

[Enterprise]

I assume I’m the least knowledgable person here regarding BB. Suppose that Durant, Curry, Thompson and Green stay healthy and stay together, which team other than Cleveland has any realistic hope to make the finals next year? Who does any given team need to add to their existing personnel? Including Cleveland?

[GuavaCheesePuff]

True. It was close and competitive.

[fatez]

Of course when Bruce Bowen did the exact same defensive play, Pop (the I hate Trump Coach of the Spurs) thought differently...

[Nifster]

Yip yip yahoo

Good for KD

[fatez]

2006 against Jamal Crawford...lest we forget...

[Bigtigermike]

As of the next 2 possibly 3 years I can’t see any other team compete on the same level as GS. They are fairly young with 4 elite players but has the experience along with that. No other team can match that right now or attempt (create a super team) in this 2-3 year span of GS dominance because whoever join to create a super team won’t be experience enough throughout playoffs...and know what to do in tough situations. You need an experience coach (Kerr is fairly new coach but was there during Michael Jordan’s Bulls run) he knows what it takes

[Az Joe]

It was poetic justice for the dirtiest team in basketball.
