Warriors start third quarter, Celtics win, NBA Finals | NBA

The scenario in the last stretch of the third quarter of Game 2 was similar to the same moment in the first game. But the result was completely different. This time, the Golden State Warriors only consolidated their lead, and the Boston Celtics did not even try to react. With a score of 107 to 88, Sunday night in San Francisco, the NBA Finals tied 1 to 1.

Stephen Curry was the biggest highlight with 29 points. The star scored just 14 goals in the third quarter, when the Warriors went 35 to 14. Golden State’s highlight was the defense, who stole the ball 15 times and caused most of Boston’s 18 inversions. The visiting team lost the ball 33 points to the Warriors.

Jaylen Brown scored 17 goals, but 13 of them scored in the first half. The players did not maintain the initial tempo. The rest of the team only added up to 43 points. The Celtics couldn’t be physical and made up for the Warriors’ excellent ball movement, which generated 40 points versus 24 for edge competitors.
