Celtics

Boston hit its first seven 3-pointers to open the 4th quarter, rallying to stun the Warriors 120-108 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

But they had that sloppy third quarter and also got off to a slow start to begin the game, when a roster that didn't feature a single player with NBA Finals experience looked like it at times in the first quarter. They now have become the first team to beat the Warriors at Chase Center in a playoff game. We're in the Finals. All I was worried about was trying to get a win, and we did. I just tried to impact the game in other ways. Boston's plus-24 scoring margin in the fourth quarter was the best in an NBA Finals game. "Ecstatic," Tatum said with a smile, when asked how he felt about the game. He finished with four assists and no turnovers while missing all three shots he took in the quarter. The Celtics proceeded to do just that. It wasn't time to hang your head or be done, it was time to figure it out." "We know what it takes to overcome a deficit like that. It certainly did in the second half. "Being resilient has been the word for this year," Payton Pritchard said.

A fourth-quarter rally turned the tide in Game 1 against Golden State, but Boston isn't celebrating anything just yet.

After opening the finals with a win, they were keen to guard against falling victim to the reverse. “I think I found a lot of space obviously in the first quarter and just was trying to ride that wave as long as I could,” Curry said. Their coach, Steve Kerr, has said the challenge of figuring out how to do that is his favorite part about being in the playoffs. Boston made defensive adjustments to respond to what they’d seen in the third quarter and held Golden State to just 16 points in the fourth. We’re in the finals. We’re in the championship. In the third quarter, the Warriors outscored the Celtics by 14 points, seeming to pull away and opening a 15-point lead at one point. He shot 3 for 17 in the game, but remained engaged, finishing with more assists (13) than points (12). In the fourth quarter, the Celtics outscored Golden State by 27 points when Tatum was on the court. The Celtics endured plenty of dramatic swings during the regular season and, more narrowly, in these playoffs. This stage was supposed to be too big for these Celtics, a team, though not a franchise, that was new to the finals. But then he dismissed the premise that his team was at a disadvantage even before the series began. There were supposed to be jitters once the series started for this band of mostly 20-somethings facing a veteran Golden State Warriors team that has been here plenty of times.

The contrast between Jordan Poole and Derrick White was starkly evident in the Warriors' loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

When he’s at this best, the offense hums and everybody on the floor benefits. Kerr sensed the game could slip away, and his instincts were accurate. But Poole was a positive factor only in the third quarter, scoring seven points on 1-of-2 shooting from distance and going 4-of-4 from the line. There were back-to-back questionable shots to open the fourth quarter, the first by Klay Thompson and the second by Poole. Both missed. He scored 21 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including 5-of-8 beyond the arc, with three assists and two turnovers. And at other times, he was terrific – as was the case in Game 1.

The Celtics leaned on a scorching fourth-quarter performance on offense to right the ship and turn the tables on the Warriors, with Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford doing heavy damage in that quarter to pull off the comeback.

- SHOULD THE BUCKS MAKE A TRADE? The Milwaukee Bucks lost Game 7 to the Boston Celtics, which officially ended their 2021-22 NBA season in the second-round. The Celtics won the game by a score of 120-108 to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The Celtics had trailed by double-digits entering the fourth quarter, but they roared back to win the final period by a score of 40-16.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A backbreaking barrage of 3-pointers that leaves the opponent cloaked in helplessness, searching for answers from a higher power.

From that point on, they went 26-7 with a net rating of plus-13.8, five points better than the closest challenger, and earned the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics know how to fight back because they've been fighting back all year long, and Udoka continued to preach resilience as the Warriors extended their lead in the third quarter. Defensively, the Celtics went to a lot more switching and pre-switching in the fourth quarter in order to limit Curry's shooting and the Warriors' penetration. Udoka said the small unit played also played with more physicality and "seemed to wear [the Warriors] down a little bit." They held Golden State to 6-of-15 shooting in the fourth quarter, including 1-for-6 from 3-point range, before the benches were emptied in the final minute, and forced as many turnovers as the Warriors had assists. "Strength in Numbers" has been the Warriors' motto for years, but on Thursday it certainly applied to the Celtics. The attack was so widespread that the Warriors had nobody to key in on. The Celtics also used small-ball, a Golden State staple of years past, to dominate the fourth quarter on both ends. They moved the ball quickly, penetrating into the paint and kicking out to players in perfect position with even more perfect passes. Instead the Boston Celtics went on an unprecedented run in the fourth quarter, sparked by lights-out shooting and pinpoint ball-movement, to come away with a 120-108 Game 1 win in San Francisco, draining the life from what had been an electrically rabid sellout crowd. His 13 assists, however, epitomized a Celtics team -- bolstered by the messaging of head coach Ime Udoka -- committed to making the right play, no matter how simple, trusting that it would eventually yield positive results. A 38-point third quarter of that nature has been a knockout blow for many an unfortunate opponent over the last eight seasons of Warriors basketball. A scoring run that leaves you scouring the record books, unable to fathom that something this devastating has ever happened before.
