I know I was slandering Tatum for his terrible shooting night but the Celtics wouldn’t have won without his great playmaking with all due respect

Can somebody please explain what happened to Steph Curry after he gave Golden State a 3-point lead with a little runner with 6:05 left??? HE DIDN'T SCORE ANOTHER POINT. Shades of the 2016 and 2019 Finals. Shrank. Disappeared. Huh???

At the start of the 4th quarter, the Boston Celtics trailed by 12. They ended up with a 12-point win.

Just by scrolling on twitter you’d think the Celtics just won the championship tonight lol.

Celtics trailed 87-72 with 2:10 left in the third before outscoring the Warriors 48-21 in the final 14 minutes.

Al Horford and Jaylen Brown combined for 21 points in the 4Q.
If you took all those points off the board, the Celtics would’ve still won the quarter.
That’s how one sided it was. pic.twitter.com/uYoU7wWsMV
