    The Golden State Warriors have needed overtime to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in game one of the NBA basketball finals in Oakland

    The Golden State Warriors have needed overtime to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in game one of the NBA basketball finals in Oakland


    Cavs star LeBron James had a career playoff high 51 points to lead the Cavs to within a basket of an unlikely victory.

    Guard George Hill had the opportunity to put the Cavs ahead with four seconds of regular time remaining, but missed a free throw, only to have it rebounded by fellow guard J.R Smith who thought they were ahead and failed to put up a shot.

    The farcical play left the scores tied at 107-all after regular time.

    The Golden State Warriors then broke away from the Cavs early in overtime, and went on to win 124-114.

    The Warriors lead the best of seven series one-all with game two is on Monday back in Oakland.
