Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics: prediction for the NBA Finals

The Golden State Warriors were one of the favorites to win the championship. The club easily defeated Denver (4-1), Memphis (4-2), and Dallas (4-1) on its way to the finals. The Warriors appeared unstoppable, but lost the first game against Boston (108-120). 

Steve Kerr's team looked decent throughout the game and was in the lead heading into the fourth quarter, but then completely collapsed and lost 16-40. The team will be looking for redemption in the second home game. 

The Boston Celtics are having a fantastic season, too. In previous playoff rounds, the Celtics knocked out such formidable opponents as Brooklyn (4-0), Milwaukee (4-3), and Miami (4-3). The visitors were considered outsiders heading into the final series, but Ime Udoki silenced their critics. 

The Celtics put a lot of pressure on the Warriors and took advantage of their own attacking opportunities (120-108). In the upcoming game, Boston will strive to build on their success and increase their lead.
