Hundreds of supporters took to the streets of Oakland to celebrate the Golden State Warriors' NBA victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers last night after a stunning performance by MVP Kevin Durant and teammate Steph Curry contributed to end the title hopes of LeBron James. Champaigne was flying, fans were yelling at the top of their lungs and the streets were packed with celebrating crowds holding up signs.
A year after the Golden State Warriors overwhelmed the Cleveland Cavaliers to claim their first championship in 40 years, the two elite teams find themselves in the same position again, with the Cavs facing elimination on home court in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

"It's just an honor to be named with the greats," says LeBron James after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the top NBA scorer of all time. James finished the night with 38,390 career regular season points, three more than Abdul-Jabbar's tally of 38,387, a record that had stood since 1984. SOUNDBITE
