BOSTON — “We here.”
More than the usual excellence was required from the Golden State Warriors, more than just winning a road game for the 27th straight series.
The Boston Celtics have been growing in confidence over the last several days, understanding how close they are to breaking through and asserting a competitive arrogance that borders on champion-like.
The night demanded not just precision and concentration, but an extra something only a special few can summon, particularly in environments where hostility is just as intense from the stands as the determined opponent.
