Jordan Poole posted 15 points and Klay Thompson added 12 points and five rebounds. The Warriors seized a series-clinching 103-90 victory in Game 6 of the NBA Finals over the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden on Thursday night, closing out the series 4-2 and becoming the 2022 NBA Champions. Warriors Defeat Celtics in Game 6 to Capture 2022 NBA Championship

It was win or go home for the Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. The Warriors ended the night hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy. Here are the best scenes ...

With Game 6 in Boston and the Celtics having not lost three straight games since late December, folks were revved up to see a battle on the court tonight. After the Celtics took a 12-2 lead early in the first quarter, former Celtic Ray Allen was shown on the video board during a timeout and was given a loud ovation. So for the second time in these playoffs, Golden State's shootaround playlist included Boston's own New Edition and group members who famously went solo. About 75 minutes before Game 6, fans gave a big ovation when Al Horford made his way onto the court for Celtics' warm-ups. It was a busy day for Gucci Mane. Not only did the rapper announce he was releasing an album at midnight, he decided to take in some championship basketball at TD Garden before the drop. Oh, and don't forget: For the first four games of this series, Boston was dominated in the third quarter. As they have so many times in this series, the Celtics failed to press their advantage. Things couldn't have gone better for the Celtics over the first few minutes of Game 6. Allen, a member of Boston's 2008 title team, had famously fallen out with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce after leaving to join the Miami Heat in 2012, but it seems like time has healed old wounds. That's partly because of Al Horford, who was up to 16 points and 11 rebounds and had been flying around -- particularly in the second half. The Celtics managed to erase their series long third quarter issues for a second straight game. Golden State had previously struggled to close out series on the road this postseason.

By winning the 2022 Finals, the Golden State Warriors only trail the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics for the most NBA championships in history.

We know who we are and the things we do well, so we're confident in that." Boston entered the 2022 Finals hoping to break a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most NBA championships at 17. We blasted them at their place, had a tough loss at our place early in the season," he continued. The team won three titles during a storied rivalry with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2015 to 2018. "Nobody thought we'd be here," the 34-year-old said after the game while fighting back years. The Celtics and Warriors weren't expected to make the 2022 Finals at the start of the season.

Missing out in 2015 when Andre Iguodala won the award and in 2017 and 2018 when Kevin Durant won the award, Curry won the 2022 Finals MVP hands down.

You know, it just says a lot about his toughness and his competitive nature and what it truly means to be a winner." When Curry wasn’t scoring at such a prolific rate – just 16 points in Game 5 – he had eight assists and two steals. He scored at least 30 points in five games, including a series-high 43 points in Game 4, the second-highest scoring output in his Finals career. "I remember where I started and just the whole journey," Curry said earlier in the series. The fact that from high school to your first All-Star Game, like it's a journey, and everything that had to go right in your life and on the court for that to happen. "He's our engine offensively," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said earlier in the playoffs.

The Golden State Warriors have won their fourth NBA title in the last eight seasons. The Warriors lost the 2016 Finals in a rematch against Cleveland, but had they won, Curry would have been the heavy favorite for the award. His second and third were as a part of arguably the greatest team of all time. But his fourth should silence the doubters once and for all. Curry has been among the NBA's best players for a decade and has had the Warriors in the Finals in six of the past eight seasons, but despite his two regular season MVP awards, he'd never earned the top individual honor of the Finals. When he won his first championship in 2015, Andre Iguodala surprisingly one it after being inserted into the starting lineup for Game 4 and helping Golden State win the final three games of the series. This is Curry's first Finals MVP award, one in which he was a unanimous selection, and he earned it by averaging 31 points, five assists and six rebounds in the Finals against Boston's No. 1 ranked defense.

Golden State defeating the Boston Celtics to secure yet another NBA title elicits reactions across social media.
