The Cavaliers, despite being depleted with injuries were energized by their home fans as they went out to push the series to a game 7. Despite the Warriors capitalizing on a lot of early turnovers, the free-throw attempts of the Cavs kept them within touching distance. The double-teaming efforts by the Cavaliers were not enough to stop Curry who still managed to find his teammates. The warriors began to pull away in the 3 Quarter, and they were never caught after that. A flurry of 3 pointers midway in the 4 ensured the result is beyond any doubt.

“I’m kind of speechless, this is special. To be able to hold this trophy and all the hard work we’ve put into it this season, this is special. We’re definitely a great team and a team that should go down in history as one of the best teams from top to bottom.” Said by Curry in the post-match interview. Moments later, he was lifting the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

Andre Iguodala, a bench player for the warriors for most of the season was named the finals MVP. The depth of the Warriors squad, their reliability and contributions made them the best team this season. “This has been a long ride, it’s been a great season.” Iguodala said whose defence on the NBA’s best player now was a major factor in their win.

The Warriors now have 4 NBA Titles in Franchise History. Coach Kerr finished a combined regular and post season record of 83-20. The 83 wins, is the 3 highest in NBA history, behind the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls. Credit deserves to go not only to the way he moulded and united the Warriors team, but to his tactics. The Warriors squad also stepped up to the challenge.

The only thing left for the Warriors now is to go back to Bay Area, present the trophy to their amazing fans at the Oracle Arena before planning a victory parade. After that, a well-deserved break for them as they would then began to plan for the 2015/16 Season. In what has been a season of many firsts for the Warriors, they must now look to maintain this success for the future.
