After a late-game win during the first game of the NBA Finals vs the Golden State Warriors, the Boston Celtics lost 107-88. The Celtics' loss came during their second half struggle as the Golden State Warriors ramped up their offense.
The lack of three-pointers and the powerful Golden State Warriors defense in the second half of the game contributed to the Celtics loss. The Celtics are well known as a first-half team, and their loss of steam was not a total surprise. Last season, the Celtics performed s
Al Horford and Jayson Tatum played well, but there were major deficits during the second half, and some teams perform better or worse during the second half of a finals game. Tatum became very defensive and lost alot of offensive energy as the game wore on, which led to an overall downturn in the game. Overall, it was a bit of a downer to watch, especially after the major Game 1 win that the Celtics had.
Game 3 in the NBA Finals will air on Wednesday, and will be a bout between the Celtics and the Warriors at Boston. The Celtics have the home field advantage, and have hopefully learned their lesson about second half intensity. I am looki g forward to it. Cannot wait to see the Celtics take off on June 8th.
What is your take? Are you a Celtics or Warriors fan? How will Finals work out this year? Who is your team?
