The Golden State Warriors are NBA champions again after they defeated the Boston Celtics, 103-90, in Game 6 of the best-of-seven finals on Friday morning, June 17, 2022, (Philippine time).

Golden State wrapped up the best-of-seven series, 4-2.

Stephen Curry led the Western Conference champions Warriors in Game 6 with 34 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.

He was later named Finals MVP. Curry, a two-time regular-season MVP, claimed the award for the first time in his seventh Finals appearance that finished with his fourth crown after wins with the Warriors in 2015, 2017 and 2018.

The title is the Warriors’ seventh overall after winning also in 1947, 1956, 1975, 2015, 2017, and 2018.
