The Golden State Warriors are the new NBA champions. Steve Kerr’s team managed to defeat the Celtics at TD Garden (90-103) and close the series (4-2) to win the seventh ring in franchise history. Stephen Curry, Finals MVP.
The Celtics, with little to lose, went all out at the TD Garden. Aware of the situation, Udoka’s men emptied their reserves from the start, with a 16-2 run that made the TD Garden vibrate. Beneath that infernal noise, Andrew Wiggins pulled the chestnuts out of the fire and Klay Thompson marked territory in Game 6, the place where part of his legend has been built. An exchange of blows that equalized the forces in Boston, unbalanced again instantly with a hurricane of rhythm and success from the visitors that allowed the Warriors to close the first quarter with a 0-11, culminating in a triple by Jordan Poole.
The outside of the Warriors, who had scored his last shot from long distance to the board, repeated on the buzzer to open the second period. Golden State was up 10 and the Celtics did not stop their trickle of losses, receiving a scandalous 0-21 run at TD Garden. Ime Udoka stopped the match and Boston reacted instantly with a 7-0 run to stabilize the difference between the two teams around the 10-point mark. However, with the equator approaching, the losses returned to local attacks. Udoka’s team, unable to keep the ball in their possession, watched as Stephen Curry punished on the other side of the court and the lead shot up to 21 points.
In the third period, Al Horford came to the rescue hitting consecutive 3-pointers in the opening, but the best version of the Warriors returned to the scene. Commanded by an excellent Stephen Curry, the movement of the ball reached a speed equal to the greatness of the San Francisco dynasty, giving away moments of magnificent basketball. The Celtics, surpassed in all sections until then, clung to the points of Marcus Smart and an inspired Jaylen Brown, who had character to take the initiative and drag his teammates with him in a 12-2 run.
A Steve Kerr timeout served as a small parenthesis and the game entered Al Horford’s field. The Dominican, who had started the fourth plugged in from the outside, connected several consecutive actions on both sides of the court that not only returned the Celtics to the clash (76-66), but also raised a TD Garden duller than normal until that moment.
Despite everything, the start of the last quarter again lowered the game’s revolutions. Without Stephen Curry on court, the Warriors kept the difference in the first instance and raised it through Gary Payton II later. The ideal context for a short break by the point guard who returned to the court shortly after with another basket for +14. The Celtics pulled epic through Jaylen Brown, effective at times but unsustainable as the minutes went by, unlike a Golden State that was more solid and with a greater range of options in attack. Finally, a triple by Andrew Wiggins, followed by another by Stephen Curry, put the icing on the ring for the Warriors. The seventh in franchise history. The room in the hands of Curry, Thompson and Green. The perfect finishing touch to two very hard years due to injuries.

He fakes the shot, passes it, puts on his mouthguard and plugs it in. And all at a crazy speed.
