SAN FRANCISCO: Tens of thousands of fans poured onto the streets of San Francisco on Monday to salute the victorious Golden State Warriors as the team celebrated its fourth NBA championship in eight seasons with an open-top bus parade.
A blizzard of blue and gold confetti billowed along downtown San Francisco’s Market Street as buses carrying the Warriors players and team staff made their way along the 1.4 mile-long parade route.
The Warriors clinched their seventh NBA crown on Thursday after defeating the Boston Celtics on the road in game six of the finals to close out a 4-2 series victory.
The victory completed a triumphant return to the pinnacle of the sport just two years after the Warriors finished the 2019-2020 season with the worst record in basketball.
