Golden State Warriors fans took to the streets late Tuesday to celebrate the the team's first NBA championship in 40 years.
The Warriors earlier in the evening defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, closing out the series 4-2.
While the game was played in Cleveland, Ohio, a raucous sellout crowd filled the Warriors' home court, Oracle Arena in Oakland, paying $15 per person to attend a watch party as Golden State clinched the title.
Shortly after the Warriors clinched the NBA title, Oracle Arena held a fireworks show to celebrate the team's title.
Police in Oakland and San Francisco -- the Warriors' once and likely future home -- said that they have staffed extra officers Tuesday night in anticipation of celebrations if Golden State won.
Crowds in downtown Oakland gathered to celebrate and light off fireworks.
Oakland police late Tueday responded to reports of gunshots fired at multiple locations throughout the city after the Warriors clinched the title.
