I'm responding to the playoffs after a loss, so I learned a lot from that fourth quarter, obviously, they made a lot of shots. We know they are a good team, so we have to respond on Sunday after.

Failing to build on a 34-point performance by Curry to open the series and facing the prospect of traveling to Boston for O2, the Warriors were fully aware of what was at stake in Game 2 and adjusted their game plan accordingly, determined to stop the role of the Celtics. Golden State's defensive intensity was remarkably high, with no one other than former MVP Stephen Curry himself having one of the most impressive defensive performances of his career holding his own in ISO situations and recording three steals over the course of the game. night on the offensive end, he would continue his aggressive attack scoring 29 points and hitting five three-pointers to help bury the Celtics 107-88, while the win relieved some pressure, it didn't completely solve the Warriors' problems and they knew they had to steal. going back one of the two games in Boston to regain their chances of winning the series our way back into the series will give us some life and that's okay so it will be good to take the show on the road and try to go on one in Boston we have to do it, so it's a good night as expected, the Celtics were ready to defend the TD Garden in game three with Tatum Brown and smartly combining for 77 points to help Boston go up 2-1.

The situation is what we are on the road to. We have to win the fourth game, we had a win-win game   after a tough one in the first game and we got the second game, so we still feel like we can obviously win the series and I come out with the right intensity and focus. game four he's been so important to our team throughout the Bay Area she's the reason when things were bad we still felt like we had to keep working we have to figure it out because we still have Steph Curry game four was seen once more by The The Warriors must win, either return home with momentum back in the bay or face the notoriously difficult 3-1 deficit that has ended many contenders' championship hopes.

Boston's Garden rocked from the start with everyone in the building knowing how pivotal the outcome would be for the rest of the series. Jason Tatum and the Celtics started the game strong by responding to the Warriors' offense shot by shot in a close first quarter. ; However, it was Stephen Curry normally known for his calm demeanor who had heard what the Boston fans were saying in the third game and was determined to let them and the world know that this was his moment as the foreigner took his third chance. for a three-point play, the Celtics had still managed to advance. the second quarter following the lead of his two All-Star Wings en route to a six-point halftime lead, but from the moment the team stepped onto the parquet floor for the second half it was Curry who would elevate his game to legendary status Curry shoots a three that's good

Curry had turned in an all-time great performance, finishing with 43 points and 10 rebounds to tie the series back on the West Coast. I know you. I won't say it, but we can, it seems like you were really putting these guys on your back right now. I know your foot isn't right. How are you doing six times better? You have a lot of experience in terms of how you stay. composed, confident in what you can do   uh, the stamina to be able to fight through the foot and just play my game for you know   however many minutes I'm out there, but it's a win on the road and coming home for a lead of comeback   too big for this.

Special shout out to the group Steph Curry man what a performance OMG guys one of the best to run that point position OMG by any means necessary baby back on top as the first player in history of the NBA Finals to record a rebound of 40 points and 10 and seven three-pointers hit the stat line Steph's fourth game did more than just make a statement in the arena: it sent a message to all the critical and purist fans who the game has to offer Stephen Curry was not only capable of performing in the NBA Finals he was destined for, he showed that he is one of the best players the game's biggest stage has ever seen, even though the Celtics had not lost games consecutive at any point in the postseason, the odds seemed to be swinging in the Warriors' favor as the series went backwards. to chase Center for game five.

The confidence from their previous victory clearly seeped in early, with Golden State jumping to a 24-8 lead with two minutes left in the first quarter. Boston had made a name for himself all season with his ability. to recover in the games and despite the initial deficit he would achieve a great second and third quarter to be only by one when reaching the fourth Stephen Curry had had problems from Beyond the yard throughout the game and eventually he would not be able to score a single three-pointer for the first time in his postseason career, but the attention the Celtics gave him would open up opportunities all over the court for his teammates, no Warrior saw this impact as much as Andrew Wiggins, who after having a great performance in game four continued With his best play of the postseason scoring 26 points and continuing his Elite defense down the stretch to help Golden State to a 104-94 victory, the Warriors were now one win away from once again writing their name in the history books. .

This is the time for Steph to Define and show everyone that I can take a team to the top of the mountain and put a championship on my back. I think they smell blood. I think Steph Curry, if I'm having a hard time imagining, will be even close to doubling. Based on his performance in Game 5, I believe he will come to Boston and play lights out for the second consecutive game on June 16, 2022. The Golden State Warriors would take the field in Boston in hopes of ending their season with a elimination. In the sixth game there was a greater sense of urgency for the Celtics, who after overcoming two seven-game series already in these playoffs were fully prepared to take this series to the limit, the home team would come out firing and take a 12-2 lead at the beginning in an attempt. to shake the Warriors' confidence, as light as the champions are, Golden State would respond accordingly and it would come in the form of a historic run unlike anything seen in the Finals in the last 50 years. down and the Celtics need another timeout Golden State scored 21 points in a row, the Warriors' 210 run forced the Celtics to play from behind the rest of the game and, although they would reduce the deficit slightly in the third quarter, it was Stephen Curry who appropriately closes the door on Boston's championship hopes, wide open three good attempts Steph Curry from downtown hurry up three that's good Steph Curry from center some chaos from Curry here in the third behind the 34 Curry's points, 22 of which came in the second half, golden State had accomplished what seemed impossible at the beginning of the series, defeating Boston in three straight games and once again earning basketball's ultimate prize.

It may be the fourth, but it means a lot. It's over, the Golden State Warriors are returning to a familiar place they're at. on top of the NBA world, the fourth title in eight years, the Dubs Dynasty is still very much alive. Congratulations, you are the 2022 NBA champions and for the first time, he is the NBA Finals MVP. The 2022 Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP award goes to Stephen Curry. I'm happy for everyone, but I'm excited for Steph. For me, this is his greatest achievement in what has already been an incredible career after averaging 31.2 points, six rebounds and five assists in the 2022 NBA Finals.

Stephen Curry had become the first player in history of the league to average that stat line in the Finals with more than five 3-pointers per game, had joined the legendary company of Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Jerry West as the only people to average that stat line in multiple Finals and he became only the third player. less than six-foot-three to win a Finals MVP trophy, but more importantly, Stephen Curry had proven once and for all where he belongs in the history of the game; You can talk forever about how he changed the game with his shooting touch or how he is easily the best. three-point threat the NBA has ever seen.

But now there's no denying that he, too, belongs in the game's all-time Grace conversation after nearly three years of struggles and doubts. Curry had put the Warriors on his back when it mattered most. and he led them to a championship with one of the most memorable finishing performances in recent memory. They said he would never return. They said he couldn't perform when it mattered most. They said he needed a Finals MVP to validate his legacy but what are they going to say now, thank you
