![]() Though the future Hall of Fame guard has two regular-season MVP awards to his name, and now four championships under his belt, he never won Finals MVP for any of the last three rings the Warriors won. Though Curry was the obvious choice for the award, him winning it is an important moment as its his first Finals MVP of his career. All of that confusion led to buckets for Curry and his teammates. It forced the Celtics to make tough decisions on defense throughout the series, whether to double Curry or play straight up, show drop coverage in pick-and-rolls or fight over the top of screens. Because he's lethal as soon as he crosses halfcourt, he draws so much attention from the defense, which opens up scoring opportunities from other guys on the floor. It's not just his scoring that helped lift the Warriors to a title, but also the gravitational pull he has whenever he's on the floor that makes him so dangerous. If it weren't for every bucket he made in that game, the Warriors likely go down 3-1 in this series and we're in a very different position today.įor most of the series, the Warriors struggled to get consistent production out of guys like Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Jordan Poole, but Curry remained a constant in every win and loss. His 43-point outburst in Game 4 is the sole reason the Warriors managed to pull out a win and tie the series back up at two games apiece. That's just how dominant a performance Curry put on over the six-game series. It was even less surprising that he was a unanimous selection to win it. It was no surprise when Curry's named was called as the winner of the Bill Russell Finals MVP award. Going forward, the Celtics' front office will need to figure out a way to push this group over the hump but tonight is all about the Warriors extending their dynasty. On the other end, the Celtics were led by Jaylen Brown, who did all he could with 34 points, seven rebounds and three assists, but unfortunately for Boston fans, it wasn't enough to extend their season one more game. The rest of the Warriors offered Curry plenty of help as Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson all scored in double figures as well. He finished the series-clinching win with a team-high 34 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, adding yet another chapter to his already storied career. ![]() In the end, Curry, once again, led the way for Golden State on the offensive end. While the Celtics were ultimately able to cut the deficit to single digits in the fourth quarter, Stephen Curry and the Warriors were not going to be denied another championship as they seemingly had an answer for every run Boston made down the stretch. After falling behind 14-2 to start the game, the Warriors ultimately took control of things, thanks to a 30-8 run that stretched from the end of the first quarter into the second. ![]() For the fourth time in the last eight years, the Golden State Warriors are NBA champions after coming away with a 103-90 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals at TD Garden on Thursday night. ![]()
