The Warriors (-3.5) came into the NBA Finals against the Celtics on a high. In their sixth appearance in eight years on the NBA’s grand stage, they sought a familiar return to greatness.

Curry found Thompson in the corner with the Warriors driving in transition late in the first quarter. And rather than watch the shot attempt from one of the league’s greatest three-point shooters ever, he simply looked away, knowing Thompson drilled it:
Steph knew it was good once Klay touched it 💦
