For the second consecutive year, the Golden State Warriors are your NBA Champions, and Kevin Durant is your Finals MVP.
Golden State cruised to a 108-85 victory in Game 4 at Quicken Loans Arena, completing their sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Stephen Curry led the way with 37 points and KD posted a triple-double (20 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists).
Here’s how players around the League reacted to the game, and to the Warriors hoisting the Larry O’Brien:

As a basketball player, if seeing another team win a championship doesn’t motivate you to work harder, then this ain’t for you. 🤷🏾♂️
