NBA Finals 2022 -- Best sights and sounds from Game 1 between Celtics and Warriors

After a wildly entertaining NBA season, we have finally arrived at the NBA Finals. The Golden State Warriors hope to capture their fourth championship since 2015, while the Boston Celtics look to secure their first title since 2008.

This Celtics squad is new to the Finals, as no one on the Boston roster has played in a championship round entering Game 1 on Thursday night (9 ET on ABC). According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Golden State's 123 games of Finals experience to Boston's zero games is the largest gap since the Chicago Bulls (134) vs. the Utah Jazz (0) in 1997.
