Oakland (United States) (AFP) - NBA Most Valuable Player Steph Curry and Golden State coach Steve Kerr will not allow the Warriors to relax even after NBA Finals foe Cleveland lost star guard Kyrie Irving.

The Cavaliers said Friday that versatile playmaker Irving suffered a fractured left kneecap in over-time during Golden State's 108-100 victory Thursday over Cleveland in the opener of the best-of-seven championship series, dealing superstar LeBron James and his teammates a major setback in their quest for the title.
