REACTION: Celtics Take 2-1 Series Lead vs Warriors in NBA Finals
- 2 years ago
Celtics bounce back again after a game 2 road loss, as they beat Golden State in a 116-100 victory in a game 3, giving Boston a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
Celtics main core stepped up, as Jaylen Brown scored 27 points, Jayson Tatum added 26, while Marcus Smart added 24 points in addition to his typical lockdown defense. Talking about defense, rim protector Robert Williams III, who has been working his way back from knee surgery, had a nice bounce back game finishing with eight points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.
''We talked about it quite a bit, our group being resilient and being able to fight through a lot of things and at times when it's most needed being able to lock down on defense,'' Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said. ''We did in the fourth quarter,''
The Celtics lead most of the game except during the third quarter, where the Warriors usually make their run, as the Splash brothers led their team back from a 12 point deficit at the half and outscored the Celtics 33-25.
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 31 points and six 3-pointers, with 15 points coming in the third quarter. He was later hurt in the fourth after Al Horford rolled into his leg on a loose ball. lay Thompson broke out of a finals slump and finished with 25 points and five 3s.
The Garden Report crew comes together in the following clip to recap and breakdown what went well for the Celtics in Game 3, and what does it mean going forward.
