EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Golden State Warriors headed into TD Garden on Thursday night and beat the Boston Celtics 103-90, to win the 2022 NBA finals.
Their Game 6 victory was a dominant performance in hostile territory highlighted by an early 21-0 run which effectively secured the Warriors their fourth championship in the last eight years.
The victory gives the trio of Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green their fourth title together — all under head coach Steve Kerr — adding to their championships from 2015, 2017 and 2018.
The contest had looked very different early on. The Celtics began the game by going on a 14-2 tear, and they briefly looked like they would force a decisive Game 7 in San Francisco.
But the Warriors countered with a run of their own, eventually ending the first quarter with a five-point lead. Things would escalate from there.
Golden State went on a 52-25 run to end the first half. That included a 21-0 run — the longest scoring run in an NBA Finals game in the last 50 years.
The Celtics cut the Warriors’ lead to single digits late in the third quarter and again in the fourth quarter but could get no closer
Boston had previously excelled in do-or-die games in its playoff run.
Until their Game 5 loss in these Finals, they were unbeaten in postseason games following a defeat.
They have been victorious in two win-or-go-home games against the Milwaukee Bucks and a Game 7 against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Yet the Celtics were up 2-1 in the series before losing three straight to Golden State, including Games 4 and 6 in Boston.
