There are myriad reasons for the epic Boston Celtics fourth-quarter comeback/Golden State Warriors collapse in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
It takes more than one player, on either side, to account for Boston’s 17-0 run that turned a 12-point deficit into a 120-108 statement. This was the resilient brilliance of the Celtics. This was the bumbling fumbling of the Warriors.
This was also the last thing that Klay Thompson fought so long and hard to get back to the Finals to be involved with. It wasn’t all Klay’s fault Thursday night.
