At the start of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors looked nervous as the Cavs jumped out to a double-digit lead. But led by Stephen Curry, the Warriors battled back and won in overtime 108-100. 

Scoring 26 points (10-20 FG, 2-6 3PT, 4-4 FT), Curry also recorded 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. His two big-three pointers in the second quarter were crucial to Golden State getting back into the game. Curry also hit clutch free-throws in overtime which ensured the Warriors would win Game 1. 

Remember, this is Curry's first time in the NBA Finals. He hasn't shied away from the spotlight all season and that attitude has carried over to the Finals. 

Golden State now has the momentum and the 1-0 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Game 2 is Sunday night at 8 PM EST.
