Revived by Stephen Curry and bonded by first-year coach Steve Kerr who made them believe, the Warriors ended a 40-year NBA championship drought Tuesday night by finishing off LeBron James and the undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6.
Curry and Finals MVP Andre Iguodala scored 25 points apiece, Draymond Green recorded a triple-double and the Warriors -- using a barrage of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to put Cleveland away -- won their first title since 1975.
James, who fell to 2-4 in the Finals, didn't hide his dejection. "Doesn't matter if I'm playing in Miami or playing in Cleveland or playing on Mars," he said. "You lose in the Finals, it's disappointing."
