Golden State Warriors has extracted perfect revenge over the Cleveland Cavaliers to win their second NBA championship in the past three seasons. Kevin Durant has also won his first championship ring, vindicating his shock decision to join the Warriors during the off‑season.
Kevin Durant proved his value all over the court with dominant play inside, great outside shooting and tenacious defense as the Warriors beat the Cavaliers 129‑120.
Durant’s extraordinary run of scoring more than 30 points in all five games of the NBA Finals has seen him crowned MVP of the 2017 NBA Finals.
Durant’s point scoring flurry saw him make history as the first player since Shaquille O’Neal to score 30 points in the first five games of the NBA Finals — joining an extremely exclusive club of NBA legends in the process.
Despite the series lasting just five games, the Cavaliers put quite a scare in the Warriors by nearly winning Game 3, dominating Golden State in Game 4, and then playing them hard until the final minutes of Game 5.
LeBron James averaged a triple‑double for the series, Kyrie Irving was at his absolute best, but they were simply outgunned as Durant and Stephen Curry carried the Warriors’ offense through the series.
