Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson spoke, Warriors overcame the top team Boston Celtics
Entering the match to welcome the best team in the NBA at this time, the Boston Celtics, the Golden State Warriors received bad news when All-star player Andrew Wiggins could not play due to injury.
On the Boston side, they also lacked the service of two important strikers in the squad. Robert Williams could not recover before the match and Al Horford unfortunately contracted COVID-19.
Although the reigning Golden State champion is playing at the Chase Center home, according to experts, the Boston Celtics are still the more appreciated team with the top achievement in the NBA.
Entering the first half, the two teams entered the game very quickly. Continuously the scores are divided equally between both sides.
By the second half of the round, Golden State began to break through. Klay Thompson on a fine day did not miss, despite the efforts of the defensive players on the Boston side.
Chef Stephen Curry also managed to get himself 2 3-pointers in the last minutes of the half to help the Golden Gate Bridge warriors temporarily lead with a score of 33-25.
In the first minutes of the second half, the extras of the two teams such as Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga or Malcolm Brogdon showed the coaches of both teams their worth.
On the day that star Jayson Tatum was quite cold due to burning, teammate Jaylen Brown had time to speak up, helping to keep the match distance from going too far. At the end of the second half, the Boston Celtics shortened the gap to only 5 points (68-63).
It seemed that after the break in the middle of the Boston Celtics game, they would have a reasonable strategy to equalize the score, but their opponent today was a Golden State that exploded in the third half of this hinge.
The Boston Celtics' offensive moves mostly depend on the individual technique of the J-J pair. That's why on the day that Jayson Tatum was quite cold, Jaylen Brown alone could not carry the "ship" of the Boston Celtics.
Meanwhile, Golden State with many offensive spears has continuously increased its score, leading by 12 points before entering the final round.
The key in this match is probably the reserve players of the two teams. While Kuminga or DiVincenzo on the Golden State side performed extremely well at the beginning of the fourth half, the name Derick White on the Boston side showed a different face.
In 22 minutes on the field, White only had 1-7 FG and did not make good use of the situations his teammates put him in an empty position. Besides, star Jayson Tatum was a bit disappointing when he threw an uncertain free throw at the hinge moment.
The lead was narrowed to six points and Tatum had two free-throw chances, but he failed both times and lost the Celtics' morale advantage.
At the end of the match, Golden State crossed the finish line and ended this competition with a score of 123-107, a worthy victory for Stephen Curry and his teammates.
Curry was the top scorer, shining for the Golden State Warriors today with 32 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 57% FG. Klay Thompson is right next door with 34 points, 5 rebounds and 14-26 FG.
On the Boston Celtics side, Jaylen Brown leads with 31 points. Not as explosive as usual was Jayson Tatum, the owner of 18 points, 7 rebounds and only 6-21 FG in 40 minutes.
