Warriors stunned as NBA record-win season ends in epic collapse (AFP)

The winningest season in NBA history ended without a championship Sunday, and try as they did, the Golden State Warriors could not set aside their sorrow, frustration and shock. "It's the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my sports career," Warriors 3-point sharpshooter Klay Thompson said. The Warriors suffered the worst choke in NBA Finals history, becoming the first team to squander a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series and lose the title after falling 93-89 Sunday to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
