The Warriors rallied from a first-half deficit to move ahead for good midway through the second quarter. They outscored the Cavs by 14 points in the third quarter and cruised from there.
Kevin Durant led the way with his second straight NBA Finals MVP award, scoring 20 points to go with 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Warriors, meanwhile, got contributions from throughout their roster while leaning on one of the greatest players of all time in Durant to close out the series.
