NBA Gameplay

The 2023 NBA Finals was a tightly contested series, with each team winning three games. The Warriors won the decisive Game 6 at home, becoming the first team since the 2015 Warriors to win the NBA Finals after trailing 2&ndash1. The Warriors' victory was a historic accomplishment, and it cemented their status as one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history. The Warriors have now won four championships in eight years, and they have done so with a core group of players that includes Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala.
