There is no question about it: the Golden State Warriors are a team that can make a splash on the national stage. After all, they won the Western Conference and were a formidable opponent to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals. As a result, they are a likely choice to win the title next season. This is a team that has a chemistry unlike any other.
The Warriors are a team that has been praised for their unselfish play. They have made it to the Finals four times in their history. Their biggest stars are Steph Curry and Draymond Green. When the team won the championship, they became the first team to win the Western Conference and advance to the NBA Finals in back-to-back seasons.
But what makes the Warriors so compelling is their style of play. They are known for looking out for one another and playing in a way that fends off a rival's push. In the NBA Finals, they outscored the Cleveland Cavaliers 28-18 in the third quarter.
LeBron James was a major player in the series. He averaged 32 points and 18 rebounds. His triple-double was his fifth in the Finals. He ranked second all-time in that category. And he became the youngest player to score 5,000 career playoff points.
The Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Andre Iguodala was named the MVP of the game. It is not a surprise that the two players were a strong force in the finals. Even though Iguodala wasn't the starting point guard, he logged 16 points and five assists. That is an impressive feat for a player who didn't start until Game 4 of the Finals.
In the regular season, the Warriors had the best record in the league, winning 67 games. They then defeated the Houston Rockets in the Conference Finals, ending the Rockets' season. Although the team had an impressive regular season, it was their performance in the postseason that helped them claim their first championship.
During the playoffs, the Warriors won three straight games to secure the series. Their home-court advantage was crucial in this contest. However, the Cavaliers had a strong comeback in the second half of the series. With under 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, J.R. Smith gave the Cavaliers a 4-point lead. From there, the Warriors outscored the Cavaliers by nine points, closing out the series.
One of the great aspects of the Warriors' season was the addition of Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut. The two players, along with Stephen Curry, have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA this year. At the end of the season, the Warriors were valued at over a billion dollars. The team could very well become the next president's team.
The 2015 NBA Finals was a highly exciting series, but the Warriors won the series. And they took the MVP award as well.
