The Celtics have dominated the game last night as their defense has managed to keep the Warriors on the back seat despite the brilliance of Curry and Wiggins, who were simply sensational on the night. Despite the brilliance of Curry, who managed to grab 34 points with 5 rebounds and also helped his team by providing 5 assists the Warriors looked by far the second best. His fellow teammate Andrew Wiggins also gave his all in the match and notched 20 points with the Warriors getting destroyed in the fourth quarter of the match where the Celtics managed to pick up 40 points with the Warriors grabbing only 16 points.
The match was pretty much in for the Warriors after the first 3 quarters when the score was 92-80 for the Warriors, but little did we know that the brilliance of Al Horford and Derrick White was coming so late. They came up with a scintillating reply to turn the match in the last minutes the match and finally win it 108-120 by a huge margin. Al Horford grabbed 24 points while Jaylen Brown also supported him by netting 24 points to put the Celtics on a huge 1-0 lead in the tie.
Golden State Warriors Match Report
Although the Warriors were counted as one of the favorites to win the NBA this year, they have been left stunned by the performance of their opponent and it looks like a huge upset for Steve Kerr’s side. Draymond Green and Kevon Looney have been kept shut for the entire game and the only players to step up on the night were Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins who have been running their best form but their teammates couldn’t provide the support they needed in the last quarter. Kevon Looney had a bad day in the business having to cope up against Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown who tore him apart and took the game away from the Warriors.
Boston Celtics Match Report
Ime Udoka’s men are in a gallant form at the moment and almost all of his players have scored in double digits per game this season. Although the Celtics were looking to end up on a defeat after the first three quarters performance, they managed to pick themselves up at the right time and stun their opponents. With the experience of Jason Tatum and Al Horford in their squad, the Celtics were always the favorites going in into the match. But the majority of credit goes to the back in the back Robert Williams III who kept the Warriors forwards away from scoring and even supported the team with some vital points when needed.
