The Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics (107-88) this Sunday and tied the NBA Finals 1-1 after the first two games played in San Francisco (USA).
Stephen Curry
(29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals) was the best of the Warriors who crushed the Celtics in a spectacular third quarter (35-14).
For Boston, the top scorer was
Jayson Tatum
(28 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists).
Within a sad collective performance by the Celtics (37.5% shooting from the field and 19 turnovers), the Dominican
Al Horford
did not have his day and finished with 2 points, 8 rebounds, an assist and a block in 28 minutes.
The Mexican-American
Juan Toscano-Anderson
played 4 minutes for the Warriors in which he contributed 2 assists and a rebound.
The first half was as chaotic as it was even, with
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown
pulling the Celtics' car and some Warriors who, under the baton of Stephen Curry, went into the break ahead taking advantage of Boston's 11 losses (52-50) .
However, Golden State dynamited the match in the third quarter, crushing some Celtics without the ability to react and achieving
a +23 before the last quarter
that left the duel sentenced.
So much so that the two teams
reserved their figures in the last quarter
since the Warriors came to win by 29 points in that quarter without history.
The Warriors are looking for their fourth ring in eight years and these are their sixth Finals since 2015, while the Celtics, 17-time NBA champions (the most along with the Los Angeles Lakers), have not won the title since 2008 and had not reached the Finals since 2010.
The Finals now travel to
Boston
(USA), where the third game will be played on Wednesday and the fourth will be played on Friday.
