Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors to an NBA Championship on Tuesday night — and took down LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in his wake.
The Warriors won Game 6, which aired live on ABC, with a final score of 105-97 to seal their fate at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
Both Cleveland and Oakland have been title-starved for decades, but it was the Warriors that gave its city the first championship title since 1975.
The victory marked the disappointment for Cavalier fans who had hoped to finally secure their own title following the return of hometown hero James from Miami this season.
After
Many thought that King James would still win the Finals MVP award even if the Warriors won, but that honor went to Golden State’s Andre Iguodola, sparking boos from disgruntled Cavalier fans.
Famous fans of both teams were quick to react on Twitter after the nail-biting game.
Wow…..it's 6am here in Groningen, NL and all I wanna do is watch it all over again. The Golden State @Warriors are NBA CHAMPIONS! #GoDubs
