He averaged 18.3 points and 8.8 rebounds during the series, while playing some strong defense against Jayson Tatum. Now, after earning his first All-Star appearance earlier this season, he has his first ring. Andrew Wiggins didn't quite live up to the hype surrounding him when he entered the league as the No. 1 overall pick back in 2014. He's now the first No. 1 pick to make their first All-Star Game and win their first title with a team other than the one that drafted them.

NBA Finals Game 6, Warriors vs. Celtics live updates: Golden State ... (USA TODAY)

The Celtics' Game 5 loss Monday was the first time hey had dropped consecutive games all playoffs. They haven't lost three in a row since December.

Steph Curry has a lot of friends on the professional golf circuit. "And also being in these situations throughout the year where we had to battle back after a big hole early in the season, all of those things bode well for us." But the Celtics climbed back into the game and cut the Warriors lead to 76-66 with a 16-4 run to close the third. The Celtics were 16-19 after that December 29 defeat but found their stride in the new year to finish the regular season 51-31, proceeding to knock off the Nets, Bucks and Heat, respectively, in the playoffs. Based on the criteria of the word valuable, it would not be outlandish to give Wiggins a vote at this point. Identifying the best player in a series is much easier — and more appropriate. The Boston Celtics came out on a mission. Jayson Tatum has made a habit of starting slow this series, but that wasn’t the case in Game 6. Ime Udoka instantly pulled Tatum out of the game as the Warriors lead ballooned to 14. Curry has 5 points, in addition to Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, who knocked down his first three of the entire NBA Finals. (He was 0-for-12 beyond the arch until that shot). The Splash Brothers, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, led the Warriors with 12 points each. Now they are back in a familiar spot: on top of the NBA.

Got to win on Thursday. That's all we got to worry about right now." Behind Tatum's 26.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game average in the playoffs, the Celtics have been on a wild ride. They advanced by winning Game 7 on the road. A determined mindset won't be exclusive to the Warriors, of course. "Obviously, track record says I shoot the ball better the next game," said Curry, whose record streak of 132 consecutive playoff games with a 3-pointer came to an end. "You want to impact the game that way.

Warriors vs. Celtics picks, predictions, schedule for Game 6 of 2022 ... (Sporting News AU)

The Warriors will have a chance to close out the 2022 NBA Finals in Boston on Thursday after taking a 3-2 lead with a Game 5 win.

But far too often, the Celtics have shot themselves in the foot. On the other hand, you never know which version of the Celtics you're going to get. I originally picked the Celtics to win in seven games. The Celtics have benefited from a great home crowd. When Williams has been on the floor, he's been invaluable. The Celtics are plus-31 when he's on the court in this series. Game 6 of the NBA Finals will tip off around 9 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 16. When he's reined in his shot selection, he has been a huge boon for the team. He must penetrate before the Warriors have an opportunity to load up in the paint. Much of that offense is predicated on taking care of the ball. The Celtics' defense has been consistent. They've also brought help from all over the floor to crowd Tatum's drives, which has led to his 18 turnovers in the series.

NBA finals Game 6: Golden State Warriors 103-90 Boston Celtics ... (The Guardian)

Rolling report: The Golden State Warriors were too good for the Boston Celtics as they wrapped up the finals series 4-2.

“Because it’s going to be the hardest game you probably ever played in your career because of what the stakes are.” In the mean time, feel free to send thoughts and feelings to @LengelDavid or via Email. Not that it mattered as Andrew Wiggins, the former No 1 overall pick, stepped up and gave the most important performance of his career. They need to stop this bleeding before the Garden becomes a morgue. “You just understand what the nerves are like,” Curry told reporters earlier this week. That’s really the difference here, along with the Warriors threes and the Celtics lack of them, of course. So they’ll have to snap out of their Garden mediocrity if there’s going to be another cross-country haul in their future. That’s the half, one that started a lot better for Boston than it finished. Thanks to Andrew Wiggins piking up Golden State, Boston are back in a similar situation: having to sweep two games. Then Brown comes right back with a left handed layup of his own for Boston. It looks good, but the Celtics need stops. Curry walks, but they don’t call it - he passes to Thompson, who hits a fadeaway, straight on. And now we begin to wonder if they can do it all again in 2022-2023.
