Barnes, likely LVP, faces uncertain future with Warriors

There is no LVP award, and the Warriors surely had their share of players not answering the bell in what was the most historic collapse in NBA Finals history. While Sunday wasn't as bad as his Games 5 and 6 were, he still missed wide-open shots as the Cavaliers dared him to beat them. The crowd actually went nuts as Barnes swished his first shot in Game 7, a 27-footer that seemed to bode well for an offense that had suddenly gone stagnant. Worse, though the forward actually hit two of his four three-pointers Sunday night, Barnes was 1-for-6 from two-point range and finished the Finals missing 20 of his last 23 two-pointers. Overall, the Warriors had trouble scoring, and they missed their last nine shots of the game to hand the Cavaliers the title. Barnes, Klay Thompson and others had said that without winning the NBA title, the NBA-record 73-win season wouldn't mean anything. Barnes was fighting back tears at times in the locker room, just as teammate Draymond Green had been moments earlier when Stephen Curry hugged him and then tapped him in the chest with his fist to buck him up.
