A closeout game six is on deck in the NBA Finals when the Boston Celtics return home with their season on the line as they attempt to force a game seven against the powerhouse Golden State Warriors. The Warriors are one win away from their fourth finals win in the last eight years after a lockdown fourth quarter helped them secure a 104-94 victory in game five at the Chase Center in San Francisco. This Boston team will be no stranger to elimination games during this playoffs run however, as they’ve been in this situation three times already including back-to-back series that went the full seven games. The Celtics have shown resilience throughout and were previously a perfect 7-0 after a loss before dropping game five. They’ll have their backs against the wall here against an experienced team in the Warriors with championship DN which should make for a fascinating contest.

The Warriors haven’t been as dominant when playing on the road this postseason vs. playing at home. They have a 4-5 road record in the playoffs but have the reassurance that they will still have the opportunity to close the series out if a seventh game is needed at home where they have posted an 11-1 record. Arguments can be made for both sides if trying to pick a winner in this match. It’s unlikely that Golden State’s Stephen Curry will have another poor shooting night after his 7 for 22 from the field and 0 for 9 from three, 16 points performance in game five, however the Warriors have not been great coming off wins in the postseason. Close out games in the NBA playoffs tend to be scrappy, low-scoring affairs as nerves play a factor which causes players to sometimes tighten up. A desperate Boston Celtics team has proven to be a force as this young team will look to improve their record to 4-0 when facing elimination.
