Should the Boston Celtics win the best-of-seven series, the team would become NBA champions for the eighteenth time, surpassing the Los Angeles Lakers as the record holder. However, the last title dates back to 2008. Two years later, the team reached the final for the last time, in which the Lakers won 4-3.
The Golden State Warriors are in the NBA Finals for the sixth time in eight years. The club from California won the championship in 2015, 2017 and 2018. Coach Kerr has been the successful coach of the Warriors since 2014. Kerr made world headlines last week when he delivered an impressive speech about stricter gun control policies in the US after the massacre at a Texas elementary school. His cry from the heart was shared by millions of people.
The second game will be played on Sunday, again in California.
