#NBAPlayoffs 2015 #NBAFinals Game1
The Golden State Warriors were far from their best Thursday night, but they did enough to stave off the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals in Oracle Arena. The Western Conference champions prevailed 108-100 in overtime.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, this is the first Finals opener since 2001 to go into OT.
James had 44 points, eight rebounds and six assists in a losing effort.
Kyrie Irving added 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Timofey Mozgov's 16 points and seven boards were big reasons the Cavs were in the game.
Curry led the Warriors with 26 points, while Klay Thompson was right behind him with 21. Andre Iguodala was also fantastic on both ends of the court. He contributed 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting and made countless defensive stops.
