The Warriors-Celtics game marks the first time that an NBA Finals game will be played at Chase Center. And ticket sales are expected to reach record levels. One courtside seat was going for more than $64,000.
StubHub is showing that at least some tickets to the Warriors Celtics game are going for $64,000.When Steve Kerr looks at the way the Boston Celtics built a championship-caliber team, he sees plenty of similarities to how his Golden State Warriors got to the NBA Finals in 2015.
Waiting for the Celtics in Game 1 on Thursday night will be Kerr’s Warriors, who are making their sixth trip in eight years led by the homegrown core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. That approach bucks a growing trend around the league of megastar movement as teams have tried to build more through free agency and trades than in the draft.

Led by Curry, Thompson and Green, the Warriors have a total of 123 games played in the finals on their roster compared to none for the Celtics, who lost in the Eastern Conference finals three times in the previous five years.
