The Celtics defeated the Warriors in Game 1 of NBA Finals

Jaylen Brown added 24 points while Al Horford hit six 3-pointers and the Boston Celtics claimed a 120-108 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. With 26 points scored by Horford, the Celtics defeated the Warriors 40-16 in the last 12 minutes after trailing by 15 points late in the third quarter. As seen, Jayson Tatum was the only Celtics regular who was struggling offensively, finishing 3 for 17.

Kerr said that it was a different feeling and it makes the players go into Game 2 with more of a sense of desperation and that’s all part of this stuff. He also said they have been in this position before. Stephen Curry scored 34 points in his return to the NBA’s big stage for the first time in three years.
