this Golden State Warriors beat Boston Celtics 104-94 They’re just one win away from winning the championship after playing Game 5 of the NBA Finals and holding a 3-2 place in the series. In an unusual game for Steph Curry (16 points and 8 assists, but 0/9 in triples), Poole and, above all, superior Andrew Wiggins (26 points and 13 rebounds) were responsible for running a Celtics from behind. , rebounded in the third quarter, and then had a gruesome final set in which they missed 9 of their first 10 shots. Tatum’s 27 points and 10 rebounds, Smart’s 20 or Brown’s 9 with 18 rebounds were all nothing.
The first quarter did not look good in the interests of those from Massachusetts. The Warriors had a solid defense and moved the ball very well on offense without rushing or abusing the shot from beyond 7 yards. The fourth finished by an 11-point margin (27-16) for those at home. But Boston recovered. The second quarter was even (Warriors won 1, 23-24), but it was enough for the San Francisco Bay team to have a comfortable lead at halftime (52-39).
Boston resurrected in an unattractive third quarter of ‘Proud Greens’. The intensity on offense is incomparable to the first half, they scored almost the same in 12 minutes as they did in the previous 24 minutes and closed a 35-24 streak in the last quarter that kept them very alive. They could have gone even further if Poole hadn’t made an unexpected basket on the bell (76-74).
But the final quarter was hell for the Celtics. The Warriors got their defensive tone back, didn’t need Curry (he went 3 to 1 in a playoff game for the first time in his career), allowing Wiggins to deal damage close to the rim and forcing Boston to miss their first 9. 10 shots in the room. From there, there was little emotion in the meeting. Golden State took the advantage and Boston made up for the result until the end of the game. 104-94 It was just that Draymond Green was dismissed again for 6 personal fouls, and the last one was when he vehemently protested an arbitration award. Kerr listened to his player and went against the referees’ signals, but the review proved the Warriors wrong. In any event, that little incident didn’t hide the Golden State’s bathing in the fourth quarter now seen between a rock and a hard place. No margin for error: San Francisco will put a new ring on his finger if he doesn’t win the next two games.
