The Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in Oakland late Monday in Game 5 of the NBA Finals to clinch the franchise’s second NBA title in three years.
Just hours after the Warriors’ triumph, CNBC analyst Josh Brown tweeted that ‘reports’ indicated the team had unanimously decided to boycott Trump.
