The Boston Celtics take another lead in the NBA Finals. Boston won the third game of the American basketball league final at home with 116-100 against the Golden State Warriors.
The Celtics lead 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. Friday is the fourth game in Boston.
Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart combined for 77 points. Brown outplayed the Celtics in the first quarter with 17 points and the home side went into halftime with a 12-point margin. However, the Warriors came back well in the third quarter and even briefly took the lead. But with a strong defense, Boston still took the win.
Last season, the title went to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Warriors (seven titles) can become champions for the first time since 2018, the Celtics (seventeen titles) last victorious in 2008.
Boston recovered from defeat in the second game the Warriors won 107-88. “That left a bad taste in us,” Smart told NBA TV. ,,We play against Golden State Warriors who know what it means to be here. We had to show what we’re worth. They sold us a blow and now we have responded.”
Stephen Curry made six three-pointers for Golden State for a total of 31 points. He stayed in the game in the closing minutes despite an injury to his left leg. “I’m definitely in pain, but it’s going to be okay,” he said. ,,I’ll see how it goes tomorrow and prepare for Friday’s game. It doesn’t feel like I’m going to miss the game.”
