To win their fourth NBA Championship over the past eight seasons, the Golden State Warriors had to beat the Boston Celtics, the winningest franchise in the NBA (tied for the most titles with the Los Angeles Lakers at 17 apiece).
But the Celtics weren’t Golden State’s only victims on Thursday night. Stephen Curry and the Warriors also took down the sportsbooks, who, like the Celtics, aren’t accustomed to losing.
“The Warriors winning the NBA Championship and Stephen Curry winning the NBA Finals MVP were bad outcomes for the sportsbook,” said Jason Scott, VP of Trading at BetMGM.
