The Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics 103-90 to win the 2022 NBA finals.

Their Game 6 victory was a dominant performance in hostile territory highlighted by an early 21-0 run which effectively secured the Warriors their fourth championship in the last eight years.

The contest had looked very different early on as the Celtics began the game by going on a 14-2 tear.

However, the Warriors countered with a run of their own, eventually ending the first quarter with a five-point lead.

Things escalated from there as the Warriors held Boston scoreless for the first two minutes of the second quarter.

By the time the blitz was over, the Warriors had put together a 21-0 streak, the biggest run in the finals in 50 years.
