Warriors cap greatest NBA Finals collapse with game seven lossNBA LeBron James is the hero as the Cleveland Cavaliers win the city's first sporting championship since 1964 by beating the Golden State Warriors 93-89, and are also the first team in NBA history to come back from 3-1 down. Instead of a game-tying splash in the final minute of the NBA Finals decider, the ball rimmed out and so did the Golden State Warriors' chances of adding a second straight basketball championship to a record-setting season. EZRA SHAW/GETTY IMAGES Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors set a record for the most wins in an NBA regular season, but lost three straight games to come up short in the finals. Golden State then rallied from 3-1 down to beat Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals before blowing the same lead to Cleveland a round later. But the Warriors did not score after Thompson tied the game with a driving lay-up with 4:39 to play.
