BOSTON, MA – If there was ever a place for basketball’s most storied shooter in Steph Curry to cement his claim as one of the all-time greats, no place more fitting than the parquet floor of the Boston Celtics in a 103-90 NBA Finals Game 6 win.

Curry, who had already had three NBA titles and two NBA MVP awards to his credit, had never won a Finals MVP, which provided many critics a glaring hole to address, quickly put that to rest in scoring 34 points while going 6-11 from three-point range in a masterpiece before that silenced the notoriously raucous Boston crowd.

Thanks to their Finals win, The Warriors franchise broke a tie with the Chicago Bulls for third place all-time with seventh NBA title, while keeping the Celtics tied at 17 with their longtime rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Golden State also becomes the first franchise since the 1991-98 Bulls to win four titles in an eight-season span.

Curry led all Warriors players with 34 points, Andrew Wiggins scored 18 points, Jordan Poole added 15 points and both Klay Thompson and Draymond Green added 12.
