The Warriors have dominated the game last night as their defense has managed to keep the Celtics on the back seat despite the brilliance of Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who were simply sensational on the night. Despite the brilliance of Tatum, who managed to grab 27 points with 10 rebounds and also helped his team by providing 4 assists the Celtics looked by far the second best. His fellow teammate Jaylen Brown also gave his all in the match and notched 18 points with the Celtics getting destroyed in the first and final quarter of the match where the Warriors managed to pick up 29 points with the Celtics grabbing only 20 points.
The match was pretty much in for the Celtics after the first third quarter when the score was 75-74 for the Warriors, but little did we know that the brilliance of Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole coming so late. They came up with a scintillating reply to turn the match in the final quarter of the match and finally won it 104-94 by a huge margin. Wiggins grabbed 26 points while Jordan Poole also supported him by netting 14 points to put the Warriors on a 3-2 lead against their opponents in this nail-biting tie.

Boston Celtics Match Report
Ime Udoka’s men were in a gallant form in the last match but have been left stunned by the performance of their opponents in the second game. Although Jason Tatum grabbed 27 points, it was always looking too much for the Celtics boys to keep with the pace of the Warriors. Robert Williams III had a bad day in the office and was completely clueless trying to defend against the likes of Wiggins and Klay.
