The 21-22 season of the NBA marked the league's diamond anniversary with intense rivalries and thrilling moments the world's greatest basketball league delivered right until the moment the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics clashing each other for the shot of this season's NBA Finals.

From slow starts, surprise comebacks, shocking turnarounds, and thrilling moments, this season's Finals is one for the NBA history books. Despite the Celtics drawing their first blood back in Game 1, the Warriors are starting to steal the game and claw their way to the top in the last five games, leaving them at the rate of 3-2 with the Warriors on the brink of another title.

This is where Game 6 of the best-of-7 match comes in at the Celtics' home turf, the TD Garden in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. Despite the Celtics' home advantage, that didn't stop the Warriors from clawing their way to the lead, and in the end, it was a win for the Warriors. The Golden State Warriors won their 4th NBA title in 8 seasons after defeating the Boston Celtics at a score of 103-90. 

Stephen Curry was named MVP for the first time in his NBA career following his impressive 3-point dagger in the third quarter.
