“It is a victory that gives us confidence because we know we can play much better – underlines Ime Udoka in the post-match -. We struggled defensively in the first and third quarters, then in the final stage we found our defense. This is a team hit with our best player in the evening no shooting (Tatum, 3/17, ed) but still able to have an important impact as an assistman and in defense. Derrick White played a splendid game, not only shooting with 5/8 from three but also defending well ”.

The incredible change of pace in the final leg makes Boston the first team in the history of the Finals to win a game by more than 10 points after falling behind in double figures at the beginning of the fourth period. “We knew Golden State would accelerate in the third quarter, but we never lost confidence,” says Horford who was absolutely glowing in the last quarter. Brown’s aggression at the beginning of the fourth period then entered our attack. We started to move the ball very well around the perimeter and my teammates put me in a position to take excellent shots ”. “We must never lose faith in our means – echoes veteran Marcus Smart – even when things don’t go well we always know what we have to do. In the fourth period we played with the right energy, now we will watch the videos of the match to try to correct the mistakes we made ”.

A Tatum who struggles to find pace at shooting still manages to leave his mark on the Celtics’ success in Game-1, producing 13 assists among other things. “We played an exceptional fourth period – underlines the Celtics superstar -. I ran into a difficult evening shooting but I tried to help the team with my defense and looking for my teammates. I don’t think that in this series I will have another so difficult shooting night, but I would certainly sign to shoot 3/17 from the field and win ”.
