Close to earning his fourth ring since 2015, Stephen Curry’s Warriors can liquidate the NBA Finals this Thursday, in the sixth game of the series, on the court of the hardy Celtics, who have already emerged from extreme situations in these playoffs.
The cross between Celtics and Warriors is broadcast live on ESPN 2, on channels 102 of Cablevisión, 622 and 1622 of DirecTV and 104 and 1009 of Telecentro. Additionally, the Star + platform offers it for its streaming system.
On Monday, Golden State managed to break through the Celtics’ fearsome defense despite Curry, their top scorer, being unusually wrong, staying without scoring a triple for the first time since 2018.
Canadian forward Andrew Wiggins took responsibility with 26 points and 13 rebounds and confirmed himself as the perfect complement to the Warriors’ old guard of Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, who are playing their sixth final together.

The Celtics suffered their second consecutive defeat, for the first time this postseason, and are now on the ropes after only a memorable performance from Curry (43 points) prevented them from taking a near-final 3-1 lead on Friday.
While none of its members have any previous experience in the Finals, the Celtics maintain the spirit of resilience they have shown throughout this season.
