Another streaky game led to another championship for the Warriors

Game Six of the NBA Finals was a microcosm of the entire series in several ways. Most prominently, just like the previous five games, Game Six was a series of runs. One of the teams would dominate the other, and then the tide would turn, and the dominating team would be dominated by the other. This scenario started in the first game of the Finals, when the Celtics turned around a double-digit deficit at the end of the third quarter by dominating the fourth quarter. The Celtics turned that double-digit deficit into a 12-point win, 120-108. That also set the tone for the series in which each win was by double-digits — 12, 16, 16, 10, 10 and 13.
