Similar to Game 1, a scoring spree is what was the deciding factor. The Celtics went on a 48-18 run in the second half to decide the opener; the Warriors in Game 2, went on a 43-14 burst from late in the first half until early in the fourth quarter to turn a tie game into a relatively easy game.

Game 1 was such a beautiful basketball game and now Game 2 is a ref show.
The Warriors and Celtics are both top notch teams. The NBA doesn’t need creative direction or manipulation of the game.
Let them play. Let us watch. Let us enjoy! #NBAFinals

Celtics are 5-4 at home in Boston so far in the playoffs this year.
2 of those home wins came in their 1st Round series sweep vs BKN.
Warriors guaranteed to win *at the VERY least* 1 game in Boston in these next 2 games.
Golden State could very well go up 3-1 in the #NBAFinals

I’ll say it again: All the Warriors need is Game 6 Klay and/or Game 7 Klay … Klutch Klay.

Celts need a true pg that can get them easy buckets. Watch how many pts come off action and how many comes of isolations. Very few easy buckets. Smart is a good player, but he isn’t a natural pg.

Imagine when Klay goes off in one of these NBA Finals games…..

Another moment you love to see – Klay Thompson falls on that last drive, Draymond Green, who’s on the bench, RUNS over to help him up. 2 other Warriors on the floor rush over as well. It’s emblematic of the team first mentality that’s gotten them this far. @kron4news #dubnation
