Steve Kerr, the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, had a flashback to the year 2015 as he watched his players celebrate their victory over the Dallas Mavericks, 120-110. It was his first season as a head coach, and his team had just won a position in the NBA Finals by prevailing in the Western Conference championship series. That event signaled the beginning of a family dynasty that would later come to govern.
On Thursday the 26th of May 2022, when his team raised the trophy for winning the conference finals, he stared around the audience at Chase Center, just as he did at Oracle Arena seven years before, and allowed the moment to soak in.
The Los Angeles Lakers have clinched their berth in the NBA Finals for the 2022 season by reaching all the way to the top of the Western Conference. The Warriors are one of only four NBA clubs to compete in six NBA Finals in a period of eight years, joining the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, and Los Angeles Lakers in that rare company. On Thursday, June 2, 2022, Game 1 of the NBA Finals will be hosted at Chase Center. Tickets for Games 1, 2, and 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals will go on sale on Saturday, May 28, at 2:00 p.m. local time (PDT) (PDT).
