BOSTON -- Minute after the final buzzer of the Golden State Warriors' 104-88 triumph over the Boston Celtics on Friday, the fire alarm inside TD Garden began blaring. Those not already moving toward the exits were advised to evacuate, and it took a few extra minutes for Celtics coach Brad Stevens to arrive at his postgame press conference after waiting for the alarm -- the result of a kitchen mishap -- to finally subside.
"I pulled that thing on my way in," deadpanned Stevens.
He probably wished he had considered that while Golden State outscored Boston by 22 in a lopsided third quarter that blew open what was a seven-point game at halftime.
