The Golden State Warriors finished an extremely disappointing ninth in the Western Conference standings and, despite a late surge to make the play-in tournament, Ja Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies condemned the Warriors to a season without the playoffs. Curry and co surged through the playoffs with emphatic series wins over the regular season MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, the Memphis Grizzlies and Luka Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals. Rookie head coach Ime Udoka combined with gritty, Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, and brilliant All-Stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown saw the Celtics through one of the most challenging playoff runs of all time and into the NBA Finals. Curry scored 34 points and finished with seven rebounds and seven assists, the previously under-performing Green finished with a stat line of 12 points, eight rebounds and eight assists with a dogged defensive performance which fans have become accustomed to seeing and Messrs. Wiggins, Thompson and Poole contributed well to help see off the Celtics.
