The Golden State Warriors are the 2017 NBA champions.

The Cavaliers battled from 17 down in the first half to pull within three in the fourth quarter, but the firepower of the Warriors proved to be too much in Golden State’s 129-120 Game 5 victory.

Kevin Durant finished with a team-high 39 points on 14-of-20 shooting. LeBron James led all scorers with 41 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists.
