Stephen Curry who failed to stand out in the third game, became the most points scorer in this match with 37 points. He managed to make 7 successful three-point shots from 15 experiments.
Other key Warriors players also look brilliant. Kevin Durant, although not as prominent as the previous game, was able to make triple-double with 20 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Klay Thompson scored 10 points, while Draymond Green made a defensive performance and slick attack also had its own role.
Green makes 9 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, and 3 blocks, and performs well in defense. While Andre Iguodala able to add 11 points from the bench, and potentially put Cleveland away for good.
Cavaliers themselves experience the problem of effectiveness in this fight. LeBron James had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, but did not get enough from his colleagues.
James became the top scorer, with Kevin Love making 13 points, followed by JR Smith and Rodney Hood with 10 points. Although pretty good in the rebound, but Cavaliers find difficulty developing the game under pressure Warriors.
In the third quarter, Warriors are already lagging 65-86. This 2016 season champion was then “release” match, marked by pulled out James four minutes ahead of quarter four ended.
Durant’s consistency throughout this final match which led to his MVP title. While Curry, who is believed to be another candidate, had experienced problems in the third game because it only makes 11 points at that time.
The success of Durant into MVP in this year’s finals led him to follows Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. They are players who managed to become MVP in two consecutive finals.
Durant’s decision to leave for Warriors at the start of last season from Oklahoma City Thunder also felt very appropriate. His first two seasons with Warriors always wins title.
