LeBron James was spectacular with 44 points but the tough part of the game was not just the turnovers by the Cavaliers but the apparent loss of Point Guard Kyrie Irving who went down during the OT period. It is speculated that he may have aggravated an injury to his knee that he has been struggling with all season and playoff long.
The Golden State Warriors will now head into Game 2 of the Finals series with a one game lead, hoping to stave off the Cavaliers from winning on their home floor.
