Andre Iguodala looks at the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Reuters
A scream choked in my throat for 40 years that explodes at the buzzer of race 6, the one that gives the second title in their history to the Golden State Warriors after the one signed Rick Barry in 1975, able to resist ‘last effort at a moving Cleveland, arrived really no energy last sprint with LeBron who finished with 32 points but with 13/33, 18 rebounds and nine assists, and that more could not be done. Sbancato the Q Arena (95-107) with a stellar Andre Iguodala (25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists), a Draymond Green from triple double (16, 11 and 10), one Steph Curry lethal when it is served, and a Festus Ezeli surprisingly, Californians have lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy, sending ecstatic 20,000 who gathered to witness the challenge for Oracle on the big screen, while the arena of Cleveland emptied sadly only in the final seconds that certifying yet another disappointment to a sportingly damn city. The triumph of Californians rewards the team that dominated the season (67 victories in regular season, not even a race-7 in the playoffs), while the Cavs (condemned by the 19 lost, 12 free wrong and 6/26 from three) remains the regret of not being able to gamble on a par with the absences of Irving and Love.
the first time – Started working on the part of both teams, with the Warriors who make mistakes Cavs open shots and instead struggle to get to the end with two violations of 24 “and have lost 5 to 6 shots at 1 timeout after 6’30″ (8-8). The choice of Blatt insist with Mozgov not pay: Iguodala is huge spaces and an amen gets to 7 points by signing the external break (15-23 in -1’42 “). After a quarter of Golden State (11 assists on 12 baskets, partial 26-8) is already at +13 (15-28) with the Cavs lost 9 and 3 mistakes to iron James. The Cavs fall with a 6-0 (3 free to Jones and triple sidereal Chosen), tapping -6 (26-32) with Californians who open 3/14 of action, but with Barnes three are above (29-37 -5 ‘). Mozgov began to be felt in the area against the quintet of small Kerr (3 blocks, 9 rebounds). 6/22 of the Warriors in the 2nd quarter and 3rd foul by Iguodala reopen the match and went to the break at 43-45 with 15 (11 in the 2nd) and LeBron 8 and 11 with 5 assists by Curry and the Cavs dominating in rebounding (29-16). As many as 19 of the 45 points in Golden State came from 13 lost to Cleveland.
recovery – The Cavs put his head back but suffered a raking 8-0 with triple Barnes and Green (47-53 -8 ‘). The energies of the hosts seem to weaken again (we lost 17) and Golden State back to +10 (51-61 to -5 ‘) with the usual Iguodala (now up to 17). But Festus Ezeli is to split in two the game with a 6-0 all its worth in the 57-69 -2’37 “. When touching the +15 Warriors are 57-0 in season and arrives on +15 58-73 with Green. Mozgov sets 61-73 at the end of the 3rd period. It seems to be made but the Cavs (who 22/33 from the line), with James is that no one knows where residual forces, return to -7 (68-75) to 10 ‘from the end. But 4 triples (2 Curry, Iguodala and Thompson) -14 to repel them (75-89 in -6’30 “). Yet another triple Iggy (77-92) off any illusion of a race-7 despite some thrills too much in the final (97-101 -37 “with two triples of JR Smith) on the Cavs’ late comeback. But it is a feast Warriors, as it should be: real team, comprehensive and solid. And the NBA champion.
Cavs: James 32 (18 rebounds, 9 assists), Smith 19 (3 5/8), Mozgov 17 (12 rebounds), T.Thompson (15 and 13 rebounds)
Warriors: Iguodala 25 , Curry 25 (6 rebounds, 8 assists), Green 16.
