Warriors fans celebrate: 'Best part of tonight? Watching Curry be the G.O.A.T on Boston's court!'
BOSTON (KGO) -- What a night it was for Dub Nation who came from all over to see the Golden State Warriors close it out in Boston against the Celtics, winning its fourth title in eight years.
The Celtics scored 90 and the Warriors scored 103.
The crowd was roaring to start the game, but the Warriors came back, took that crowd out of the game, and won it all in Dubs fashion by being the best out there.

"I got here Wednesday, I purposely came out here for this game, I've kind of been a Finals curse but we did it. Third time is a charm right?" said Alice Zhang of San Francisco.
"I was at Game 2 in San Francisco, had the clinch opportunity here literally 6 blocks from where I live. It's been an unbelievable ride to see it on both coasts and to watch them close it out here tonight," said Kevin Gehl who lives in Boston but is a Pleasanton native.
"Ayesha can cook! Ayesha can cook, that's what we think. Best part of tonight watching Curry be the GOAT on Boston's court," said Kris Ferrer, a Dubs fan who lives in New York.
