1. Wow.
Just…wow.
The Boston Celtics were never really out of it against the Golden State Warriors. The most Boston trailed by was 11 points, and that was very briefly. But, for much of the second half, it was a six-point deficit that felt like a 16-point deficit.
Then, it wasn’t a deficit at all.
Boston tied it up, got a stop to force overtime. Then they took a healthy lead in the extra period.
And in true Celtics fashion, they made it harder than it needed to be in the final minute or so.
