President Obama returned to D.C. this evening after spending the weekend in California with his family, but he wasn’t quite ready to end his vacation once Air Force One landed at Andrews AFB.
You see, the NBA finals were still going on and he didn’t want to miss the end of the game:

After the Cavaliers won, beating the Golden State Warriors 93-89, the Obamas finally departed for the White House:
