Golden State is the NBA champion

Led by 34 points from Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics 103-90 on Thursday night to claim their fourth NBA championship in the last eight seasons, writes CNN.

The victory gives the trio of Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green their fourth title together - all under head coach Steve Kerr - adding to their championships from 2015, 2017 and 2018. They’ve won 21 NBA Finals games together, having recently passed Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili (19) for the most NBA Finals wins by a trio over the last 30 years.

Curry, who was in tears on the court after the final whistle, won NBA Finals MVP honors for the first time in his career.

This title ends a blip for the Warriors, as they were marred by injuries for a couple of years and were back in the postseason for the first time since 2019.
