The Golden State Warriors face the Boston Celtics as the NBA Finals arrive to steal the US sporting headlines for the next few weeks.
The Warriors return for their sixth Finals appearance in eight years. They reached five consecutive Finals between 2015 and 2019, winning three of those occasions – all against Cleveland Cavaliers.
Two-time NBA MVP, three-time champion Steph Curry will be determined to add another glistening title to his trophy cabinet and his team are the favourites heading into this one.
The Warriors finished the regular season with a five-game winning streak to secure third in the Western Conference – the lowest they have finished in the standings when they have progressed to the NBA Finals.
Standing in their way of another title, the Boston Celtics, a historic outfit heading into their 22nd NBA Finals appearance. They have only won one title – in 2008 – since 1986 and will be determined to end the barren streak.
