The Golden State Warriors are the NBA champions after a 90: 103 victory over the Boston Celtics in the sixth game of the Finals Series.
Stephen Kerry is a huge player, one who has changed the entire industry with his unique style of play and the class he adds to the world of basketball.
But in this final series he also officially became one of the greatest in history, and one to be counted in the greatest conversations of all - the huge slingshot led the Golden Stays with 34 points to a 2: 4 victory over the Boston Celtics, and a fourth championship under him.
Boston gave a great season and also showed a lot of character today, chasing the Warriors throughout the game and not giving up, but without its biggest star Jason Taitum who just did not come to the game she did not really have a chance against a talented team like Golden State.

Boston, which came with its back to the wall, and knew that a loss would end its season - initially looked like one that would not disappoint fans today.
Two Jaylen Brown threes set a 10-point lead in 155 seconds and Steve Kerr called a timeout.

Golden State came back like the muzzle of a cannon, Clay woke up with accurate shots, and threes from Drymond Green Stephen Kerry and Jordan Paul made it 27:22 at the end of the first quarter for the visitors, who closed out an 11-0 run, mostly showing they came to take the championship.

The trend continued at the beginning of the second quarter.
Jordan Paul started in a frenzy and with another three from a second chance on offense, then an assist on the move to Wiggins brought Boston down to a timeout at 37:22 to the Warriors, and when it seems that if Udoka's team does not wake up now - the story is over.

The Celtics made comebacks and a Taitum basket reduced the gap to 10, but the Warriors returned to shell from every spot on the floor - and Boston in front of the home crowd froze.
Kerry and Thompson's beautiful baskets put the San Francisco team up for a record 21-point lead, and the teams went down to the break at 54:39.

The second half began with another three by Drymond Green - second in the game.
And in a course that best describes the game - on the one hand Steph bounces the guard and hits a big three, on the other hand Taitum in an almost identical course - which ends in an Air Ball.

The hottest player on earth right now - Kerry, scored another shot from Downtown and put the Celtics down for a timeout, 22 minutes behind tonight.
Smart made comeback votes in Boston, and in the absence of Taitum who just did not make it to the game, Jaylen Brown led a 2:12 run and kept the Celtics' championship dream alive.
Horford with a three-point move reduced to a single-digit, and his huge block in defense lifted to the entire Tee Garden on his feet.

Jordan Paul opened the final quarter well at Golden State, and Taitum finally showed signs of life with a powerful dunk.

For the umpteenth time, the Celtics did not break and a three by Horford left the Greens in the game, but Kerry scored on him easily on the other side.
Andrew Wiggins who delivers a great series - and along the way breaks a lot of important sling sling stigmas.
And who if not the great Steph has finally finished the story of this season with a huge three, and marked a good night for the crowd in Boston.
The closing call as the @warriors become 2021-22 NBA Champions, winning their 7th title, 3rd most for a franchise in NBA history!

Coach Steve Kerr was asked at the end what the Golden State magic secret was and replied: "I'm surrounded by stars, I'm not connected to that at all - go ask Steph he will answer you."
Moments later the giant star won the MVP title of the final series.
