What a final!
The Boston Celtics beat the Golden State Warriors 116-100 at home in the third playoff of the NBA best-of-seven series — and take a 2-1 lead.
Game 4 takes place on Friday night (3 a.m.) in Boston. In Germany, the game can be seen live on DAZN or with the NBA League Pass (EUR 24.99 per month).
Mega start for Boston! It’s 24:9 after ten minutes of the first quarter. The quarter ends at 33:22. At half-time, the Celtics are 68-56 ahead — a clear thing for the hosts.
Hidden message: Celtic stars Al Horford and Jayson Tatum both wear a small black patch on their shirt with the number 24 on it — to commemorate the fatally injured legend Kobe Bryant, who wore the number.
With the Warriors, superstar Steph Curry hasn’t been able to shine for a long time, even attracting attention with a “swallow” at first when he provokes an offensive foul and after a contact only falls backwards with a time delay. The referee falls for it…
Then the curry sausage becomes the super steph!
Led by the king of three, the Warriors are catching up point by point. At the end of the third quarter, Curry has 29 points and the guests are up 89:93. Now everything is suddenly back in place.
In the fourth quarter, however, the Celtics turn up again and make the second win in the third final game clear.
Doubly bitter for the Warriors: In the end, Curry gets another one, has to leave the field and be treated.
