As the 2022 NBA Finals head back to Boston for Game 6, the Celtics face a must-win situation against the Warriors.
After taking a 2-1 series lead, Boston has lost two consecutive games and now faces a 3-2 series deficit to Golden State, which is one win away from capturing its fourth NBA title in eight seasons and the seventh title in franchise history.

In Game 5, it was Andrew Wiggins who led the Warriors with 26 points and 13 rebounds while Stephen Curry had a relatively quiet night, failing to connect on a 3-pointer for the first time in his NBA Playoff career. With an opportunity to win an NBA title, it's hard to imagine Curry having yet another rough night, which could spell doom for Boston.
The Celtics are no strangers to playing under pressure — they're 3-0 when facing elimination in these playoffs (including two Game 7 wins) and their star duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have seen just about everything on the postseason stage during their young careers.
