Stephen Curry’s copious cry at the last burst of the clock symbolizes redemption after two seasons lost to severe injuries to the biggest stars. The all-time best pitcher finished with 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, which included 6 3-pointers, and took the Finals MVP award for the first time in his career. Kevin Durant (2) and Andre Iguodala (1) were awarded in the other three achievements.
The Golden State Warriors reach their fourth title in six finals in the past eight years. Seven trophies are in total, making the franchise isolate itself as the third most victorious in the NBA. All four times, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green played all the final duels; the San Francisco franchise came away with the title. The writing was maintained with a performance at the height of Draymond (12 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists) and a game to spend by Thompson (12 points and 5 rebounds).
Victory seemed assured already in the second period when the Warriors completed a streak of 21 points to zero to turn the duel and not look back. It was the biggest unresponsive avalanche seen at an NBA Finals game in 50 years. Andrew Wiggins, the team’s second-highest player in the playoffs, collaborated with 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Jordan Poole added another 15 points to seal the title.
For the Celtics, Jaylen Brown finished with 34 points and 7 rebounds, but the company’s biggest star, Jayson Tatum, ended a disappointing streak with just 13 points and 7 assists, with 6 baskets in 18 attempts on the court (33.3% ). Marcus Smart didn’t get past 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists. Al Horford had a great game, with 19 points and 14 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough. The number of turnovers (22) was again a drag for Boston. The ups and downs in the attack were decisive for the three losses in a row, after leading the finals 1-0 and 2-1.
The comeback season for both teams ends with the title of a historical generation, which seems to have no limits on the horizon, despite Curry’s 34 years, Thompson’s 32, and Draymond’s 32. The Celtics’ inexperience on the biggest stage weighed in, but the competence after the turn of the year, when it went from 11th position in the East to Game 6 of the NBA Finals, is a sign of a bright future. The classic franchise remains with 17 titles, the same as the Los Angeles Lakers.
First Quarter – Warriors 27-22: Boston took advantage of the Warriors’ turnovers and missed shots to open 12 early, but Golden State soon calmed down and set up a 17-point comeback. Tatum and Brown each had 7 points, but the Celtics didn’t control the number of turnovers in the final minutes (4-4 in the end). Curry, Klay, Draymond, and Poole each scored 5 points.
Second Quarter – Warriors 27-17: Golden State imposed a 21-point unanswered streak between the first and second quarters. It was the longest streak in an endgame game in the last 50 years. Golden State even opened 21 points of advantage, with boos from the crowd in Boston to the team itself. Panicking on offense, the Celtics committed 12 first-half turnovers. There were 9 offensive rebounds for the Warriors against 2 for the opponent. Boston hit 3 for 14 from the perimeter to 10 for 23. Curry (12), Klay (12), Poole (11), and Wiggins (10) scored in double digits in the first half. Score from 54 to 39 at halftime.
Third period – Celtics 27-22: The home team was 22 points behind in the middle of the period but managed a 16-4 streak and narrowed the gap to single digits. Al Horford (16 points) made up for Jayson Tatum’s night in attack so far, with just 11 points in total (5 out of 14 on the court).
On the other side, Curry had 9 points in the split, for a total of 21, and Draymond Green approached a triple-double. Score from 76 to 66 at the start of the last quarter.
Fourth Quarter – Warriors 27-24: Boston tried a last gas in the opening minutes but never got closer than 8 points off. In the end, the home team withdrew the starters, and Andre Iguodala replaced Andrew Wiggins in a tribute from coach Steve Kerr. In tears, Stephen Curry ended the game by hugging his teammates from many battles. So much frustration with injuries. And so many trophies.
