On June 12, 2016, the NBA Finals between the Cavaliers and the Warriors came to an end at Oracle Arena.
Today was undoubtedly a glorious day for the Warriors. For Durant, it felt like the pinnacle of his career.
Even though LeBron James had stubbornly poured in a massive double-double of 41 points and 13 rebounds, shooting an incredible 63.3% from the field.
Even though J.R. Smith went 7-for-8 from beyond the arc, scoring 25 points on an even more absurd 81.8% shooting percentage.
Even though Kelly Irving scored 26 points and dished out 6 assists.
The Cleveland Cavaliers still lost to the "Galacticos" Golden State Warriors, 120-129, at Oracle Arena.

Who could have imagined, at this time last year, that Durant would actually join the Warriors?
At this time last year, no one believed the Memphis Grizzlies would lose.
