Top ten plays of the 2022 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics

The Golden State Warriors overcame the Boston Celtics 4-2 in the 2021/22 NBA Finals to claim their fourth championship in eight years. But what were the best plays of the series?

The Warriors' dynasty continued after two difficult seasons, with Klay Thompson, Steph Curry and Draymond Green picking up their fourth ring as a trio.
Boston gave the old guard a run for their money, leading the series 1-0 and 2-1, but three straight wins for Steve Kerr's team propelled Golden State to another championship.
Curry picked up his first Finals MVP award for his performance against the Celtics, cementing himself as one of the best to ever do it, if that was ever in doubt. But this championship completes the set for the point guard, who has arguably broken into the top ten for NBA players of all time, but that is a debate for another day.

From dunks, to assists, to blocks, to shots, Planet Sport picks the top ten moments/plays of the 2022 NBA Finals.

The nail in the coffin as Curry stretched the lead in the third quarter of the title-clinching Game 6 victory.

Emphatic, and on the Finals MVP as well. This was one of FIVE blocks by Williams in Game 6.

Talk about showing your initiative. Horford channeled his inner American footballer to pick up a sweet dime.

What a way to end the third quarter of a ball game...

2) Jaylen Brown block to dunk - Game 1

From one end of the floor to the other, Brown was putting in work in the C's Game 1 win.
