Perhaps no player had a greater impact on this game for Golden State than Andrew Wiggins, who finished with 17 points and a career-high 16 rebounds. Having the ball late in the shot-clock and being assertive is what will win Boston this series. Stephen Curry put on an absolute show in this game and no matter if he was wide-open, heavily contested or being fouled, everything Curry seemed to put up went in, especially in the second-half. Through four games in the 2022 NBA Finals now, Curry is averaging 34.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and is shooting 49.8% from the floor, 49.1% from three-point range.

In Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors bounced back after a tough Game 3 loss to tie things at 2-2 against the Boston Celtics.

Sure, Boston has not lost back-to-back games this year, but this Warriors team looks like they are on a mission. For the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum followed up his Game 3 performance with a rough showing in Game 4, finishing with 23 points on 8-of-23 shooting. The Golden State Warriors will keep things even, again, at least for now.

Ahead of Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Warriors, let's get into some bold predictions for the Celtics.

However, the Warriors just rediscovered a great recipe for success and will get the chance to try it again at home. Tatum recorded 13 assists and 17 shots (the fewest he has attempted over a single Finals game) in Game 1, which worked out for Boston. Having him lean into a floor general may seem counterintuitive for such a great scorer but it’s the best way to make him more impactful. With an average of 7.8 assists per game in the NBA Finals, Tatum has done a great job with playmaking. He is getting to his spots, driving into the defense, showcasing some tremendous passing and is bringing it on the defensive end. The Boston Celtics squandered a great chance to capture all the momentum in Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals. They lost 107-97, allowing Stephen Curry to score 43 points. The Celtics saw that when the Warriors play Kevon Looney for a significant amount of time, they aren’t able to own the glass.

There was a heightened level of intensity in the building for Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors, and understandably so.

And the experience knowing how fickle momentum is in the Finals. We've been through it all, so try to rely on past experience to understand how important that was." "A lot of it is because of how hostile the environment was, the fans chanting, doing all their shenanigans and all that. There was a heightened level of intensity in the building for Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors, and understandably so.

In Game 4, the Warriors went on a late 10-0 run (between 5:18 and 1:32 remaining in the game) while the Celtics missed all 6 of their shots.

And after a Looney layup (when the Celtics got the ball out of Curry’s hands), the Celtics had their sixth and final clutch possession of Game 4. The Celtics also had multiple possessions earlier in Game 4 where they just weren’t very purposeful and settled for bad shots. Turnovers and rebounds have been a part of that, but shooting is the most important aspect of this game. The following possession (clutch possession No. 4), it was Green doing the same thing. Brown kicked out to Smart and Green made a huge effort to contest the shot as best he could: But Thompson saw what was happening, switched off of Brown in the corner, and contested Tatum at the rim without fouling: Flare screens (for multiple players) have become a big part of the Celtics’ offense in this series. The Celtics (plus-7.4) were 1.9 points per 100 possessions better than the Golden State Warriors (plus-5.5) in the regular season, but the Western Conference champs have home-court advantage in this series because they won two more games. Brooklyn, of course, had one of the worst defenses in the playoffs. But by beating their opponents so decisively (20 of the 28 wins were by double-digits, 15 were by 20 points or more), the Celtics didn’t really resolve their clutch issues. And over those four games, Boston scored 25 points on 21 clutch possessions ( 119 per 100), with Jayson Tatum’s Game 1 buzzer-beater being the highlight. That was the third-biggest differential in that regard in the 26 years for which we have clutch data.

Boston Celtics lose to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the NBA Finals as Jayson Tatum continues to struggle.

Perkins, like all Celtics fans are wondering when the real Jayson Tatum is going to arrive in these NBA Finals. The next three games will be a perfected time for him to show his All-NBA first team status, at least the next game. Is it the Warriors defense or an injury that is holding Tatum back? And I’ve been waiting for the best player on the Celtics to rise to the occasion,” Perkins said on Celtics Post-game live,via NBC Sports Boston. But what I saw today was the best player on one team was ready for the occasion and rose to the occasion. The 2021-22 Boston Celtics are a team that thrives off adversity. In moments when he needed to match Curry, he either bricked shot or came up short at the bench.
