NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors clinch title

Curry and Iguodala played key roles in their side's success

The Golden State Warriors won their first NBA title in 40 years, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 to take the best-of-seven series 4-2.

Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala, the Most Valuable Player in the finals series, had 25 points apiece.

LeBron James once again led the injury-hit Cavaliers with a game-high 32 points.

"This is something special. From the start of the season this is what we envisioned," said Curry.

The Warriors were the top-seeded team in the play-offs after having the best record in the regular season and they become the first team since the Chicago Bulls in 1991 to win a title with no players having prior finals experience.

Steve Kerr also becomes the first rookie coach to capture the crown since Pat Riley with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1982.
