Golden States Warriors claims NBA title as Stephen Curry lead his side to victory over Boston Celtics.
Golden States Warriors have claimed the NBA title following their victory over Boston Celtics in the game 6 of the final.
Warriors point guard Stephen Curry bounced back from a disappointing Game 5 display to lead his team to a 103-90 victory at the TD Garden in Boston, sealing a fourth title in eight years for the franchise.
This triumph completed a journey like no other, after a run of five consecutive finals, then a plummet to the bottom of the NBA, and now a return to greatness.
The impressive run has been led by Curry, his fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson and defensive lynchpin Draymond Green.
That trio was at the centre of this title victory once again, with Andrew Wiggins joining to make huge contributions to the 2022 title triumph and Kevon Looney dominating on the glass throughout the postseason.
Thompson, who completes a remarkable personal comeback after returning earlier this year following two-and-a-half years sidelined by injury, managed a dozen points of his own. He put in thousands of hours working in the background to allow him to get back to this stage and become a champion again.
“It all paid off,” Thompson said. “It was dog days, a lot of tears shed. You knew it was a possibility, but to see it in real time, it’s crazy.”
