CNN: Golden State Warriors down Cavaliers to win NBA title

(CNN)The Golden State Warriors won their first NBA title since 1975, downing the Cavaliers 105-97 Tuesday night in Cleveland. The Warriors won the NBA Finals four games to two, winning the last three contests.

"They were all in it just to win," rookie coach Steve Kerr said of his players. "This is an amazing group of guys."

The four-time NBA champion Warriors were led Tuesday by Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala, who each scored 25 points. Iguodala, who started zero games during the regular season but was inserted into the first five during the Finals, was named MVP of the series. "We are going to remember this for a long time," he said.

Golden State's Draymond Green had a triple-double with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Warriors won the game by hitting seven more three-pointers -- a margin that was larger until J.R. Smith hit four late, long-range shots -- and forcing the Cavs into 19 turnovers.

LeBron James topped the Cavaliers with 32 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists. Smith had 19 points, 15 in the fourth quarter.

"Our guys did more than anyone could expect to put themselves and to put our organization in the situation (where they played for a title)," Cleveland head coach David Blatt, also in his first NBA season, said. "Not every story has a happy ending; it doesn't mean it's a bad story. This was not. This was a good story."

That was a very happy moment for me. Am I the only one that loves to see Lebron lose?
