Breakdown of Celtics vs Warriors Game 2 Finals

Things were looking good for the Dubs in Game 1 as they entered the fourth quarter leading with double digits. Shortly after though, their defense made it easy for the Celtics to regain their confidence and rally with a 40-point fourth-quarter performance.

This is the version of the Celtics we think we’re getting tonight.

Tatum vs Curry

Boston is showing no surrender with a combo of Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford all turning tables on the Warriors. This is a team that weathered an early explosion from Stephen Curry to come away with that Game 1 victory in San Fran.

Even with Curry involved, considering he could even shoot for six other 3s in a quarter, Jayson Tatum could also go for another 3-for-17; the Celtics have not only proven that they can shoot the deep ball, but they also switch defensively and close gaps on the end of the field. Tonight, they have a chance to finish with the over in the second game of the series.

The NBA Finals Game 2 kicks off on June 5th with tip off set for 8 p.m. ET from the Chase Center. How and where to watch here.
