NBA Finals: Warriors' Andrew Wiggins emerges as second star next ... (CBSSports.com)

Wiggins has been Curry's most reliable running mate on both ends of the court throughout the playoffs.

Though it doesn't happen often, Wiggins can reliably come to the rescue with isolation or post-up creation when his team needs him, as he did on this fadeaway in the first quarter of Game 4. This is nothing new for Wiggins, however, who has gone from a disappointing would-be franchise player as a No. 1 overall pick with the Timberwolves to an absolutely elite role player with a Warriors team that sits two wins away from its fourth NBA championship in eight seasons. He needs at least a couple of teammates to come along for the ride -- and if you look up and down the roster, Wiggins is the one who's been sitting shotgun with Curry at the wheel this whole time. It's clear that it's going to take at least two more herculean efforts from Curry if the Warriors are going to beat what looks like, on paper at least, a superior Celtics squad. But every once in a while, when the Warriors' offense collapses and the shot clock runs down, they need someone who can get a bucket. "I just want to win. On the next Warriors possession, Thompson hit a 3-pointer that gave Golden State a lead it wouldn't relinquish. He came crashing in from the weak side with reckless abandon for 13 defensive rebounds, and also came up with three offensive rebounds, none more important than this put-back on Jordan Poole's missed layup with just under five minutes remaining. At plus-20 for the night, he gracefully played Mercutio to Curry's Romeo performance of 43 points and 10 rebounds on 7-for-14 3-point shooting, as the Warriors pulled out a gritty, inspiring 107-97 win to tie the series at 2-2. Tatum is shooting just 50 percent in the restricted area during the Finals, compared to 68 percent in the regular season. After an 8-for-23 performance in Game 4, Tatum is now averaging 22.3 points in the Finals on 34 percent shooting. Stephen Curry, we knew, would bring it on a nightly basis, and he's exceeded expectations against the Boston Celtics so far with masterpiece after masterpiece.

The Warriors Need More of Andrew Wiggins's Best to Complete Title ... (Sports Illustrated)

The star wing's all-around Game 4 performance was an indication of how impactful he can really be as the Finals swing back to the Bay Area.

At his best in these playoffs, Wiggins has had a huge impact on the offensive glass and used his length to bother some of the world’s most threatening scorers; when he fills the precise role Golden State needs him to, the Warriors look like a juggernaut. You've got to leave it all on the floor.” When left alone, his willingness to crash the boards has been paramount to Golden State’s success. In my Finals preview, I wrote that Wiggins’s “independent shot creation, defensive versatility and offensive rebounding make him one of the series’ most important players. With Wiggins on the floor, Golden State outscored the Celtics by 20 points. In Game 3, he disappeared and the Warriors fell apart.

However, a meniscus tear in the preseason forced him to miss the first 44 games of his rookie campaign and he played just 24 games overall. I’m ready to get to work.” Williamson was pegged as a future star when the Pelicans selected him with the top pick in the 2019 draft. A potential rookie scale extension for Zion Williamson will be one of the major stories of the offseason, and the Pelicans‘ talented but often-injured power forward repeated his desire Saturday to stay in New Orleans, writes Andrew Lopez of ESPN. “I do want to be here. Aaron Rodgers’ flirtation with retirement this offseason had an effect on Davante Adams’ decision to leave the Green Bay Packers. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Adams said that the uncertainty around Rodgers’ status for 2022 and beyond in Green Bay played a role in Adams wanting out. The team may try to include protections in the contract, basing a portion of Williamson’s guaranteed money on the number of games he’s able to play. Ingram helped lead the Pelicans to a surprisingly competitive first-round series against the Suns, but they ultimately fell in six games. The Golden State Warriors knotted up the NBA Finals at 2-2 after a 107-97 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night. On the year, the Red Sox are seventh in slugging percentage and are paced by a top 3 offense over the last month. The Red Sox pulled out a close win on Friday and will look to make it two in a row on Saturday as they get back into the AL East mix. He had 14 goals in each of their championship runs in the 2020 and 2021 playoffs and had two goals in the first round against Toronto this spring. The Tampa Bay Lightning had expressed cautious optimism that center Brayden Point, who has not played since the first round of the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs, would be ready to suit up for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final Saturday at Amalie Arena. But it appears Point isn’t quite recovered enough from his lower-body injury to play, sources tell Daily Faceoff. Point is close to game-ready, however, likely to play Tampa Bay’s next contest, whether it’s a potential Game 7 against the Rangers Tuesday or Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final next week in Denver against the Colorado Avalanche. The Bolts lead the Rangers 3-2 in the Eastern Conference final and are trying to close out the series in Game 6 after rallying back from a 2-0 series deficit. He was Golden State’s best non-Steph Curry player, finishing with 17 points and a career-high 16 rebounds to help lead the Warriors to the series-tying 107-97 victory.
