MADRID, 17 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Golden State Warriors won (90-103) the sixth game of the NBA Finals to become champion (4-2) and recover the ring three years later, in the umpteenth exhibition of Stephen Curry, MVP of the final, in the series , a victory that means the fourth title for a golden generation.
This victory is the culmination of a dream team, undervalued at the start of the current season and with Curry as the ace up his sleeve. The point guard finally managed to be named MVP of the finals, the ‘thorn’ that seemed like it would not be removed since he won his first ring in 2015. The Warrios were the strongest team in the Finals, with the stain of two games with more shadows than lights, to resurface and continue to enlarge the dynasty of those from San Francisco.
Three years later, the revolution and rebellion, promoted by Steve Kerr, won over everything else. High pace, speed and incredible triples, always walking on the edge. However, in this sixth game, which ended up being the final one, the start was not easy for those from Bahia. Boston started fast and quickly got 10 ahead with a great Jaylen Brown (34 points), knowing it was all or nothing.
But the visitors began to exercise a more aggressive defense, with more recoveries, to get closer on the scoreboard thanks to the good work of Curry, Payton (6 points) and Thompson (12 points). From then on, the Bahia roller began to work, finishing ahead of the first quarter (22-27), supported by the strong defense of Wiggins and Green, to put a difference of 10 points in the second quarter and provoke the collapse of the Celtics, coming into the break 15 points up (54-39).
Despite Udoka’s adjustments, nothing changed after the break. Some attempt by Al Horford (19 points) that came to nothing due to a plugged-in Curry who did not want to give any chance to the miracle in the Garden. With six minutes to go before the final quarter, the base scored from a distance to point the finger referring to the ring. They were 22 points away and he knew he was close. But Boston did not want to throw in the towel and battled until the end, without a missing Tatum (only two points in the fourth quarter), but boosted by Brown and Al Horford.
The relaxation caused the locals to approach the scoreboard (84-75), but Curry was responsible for sentencing the game with two innings and a triple in two minutes. The Warriors were champions, the fourth ring for a generation that enters the history of the NBA subduing its rivals based on rebelliousness and rebellion. And Curry deserves MVP to make it clear that he is a unique player.
