Warriors were the better team, congratulations
to the Warriors and much respect to Lebron James and Kevin Durant, he is a very mature guy. He accepts defeat gracefully as evidently shown when he embraced Durant at the end of the game. I recall him doing the same with Curry in 2015. He isn't a bad loser just a very gracious one. Big ups to Lebron and congrats to Golden State for winning the NBA championship. Well played Warriors, well earned. Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green Golden State Warriors Party hard tonight and raise that trophy high you've earned it.
