The (67-15) Golden State Warriors Win the NBA Title

The Golden State Warriors, whose (67-15) regular season record was one of the best in NBA history, won their first title in 40 years, winning (105-97) in game six at Cleveland, defeating the Cavaliers in 6 games.

Finals Series MVP Andre Iguodala and Stephen Curry each had 25 points in the series clinching game.

It is the 4th title for the Warriors franchise, the first two as the Philadelphia Warriors in 1947 and 1956, and as noted one 40 years ago in 1975, that as the Golden State Warriors.

All four Warriors titles were clinched in their first opportunity to do so, the first two as and in Philadelphia, the last two as Golden State and on the road.

Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr wins a title in his first year as a coach, adding to his winning ways.

Mr.Kerr played on 5 title teams as a player, two with the San Antonio Spurs and three with the Chicago Bulls.

Those Bulls teams had a radio analyst named John “Red” Kerr, a title winning player with the Syracuse Nationals (1955), the franchise that eventually replaced the Warriors in Philadelphia, as the 76ers.
