The 2022 NBA Finals are still fresh enough to deliver a sting to fans of the Boston Celtics, and it certainly was no fond memory for the Celtics on the team now who were part of that Game 6 meltdown that ultimately sealed the deal in favor of the Golden State Warriors to win the title on Boston’s own home court.
But to not learn the lessons of history dooms one to repeat them, which is likely one of the reasons you hear veteran Celtics big man Al Horford speak at length about how the Dubs in another game in the series — specifically, Game 4 — set the Celtics up to lose eventually.
Horford exposed what he thinks went wrong with Boston’s title pursuit in that game of the series on a recent episode of the “Old Man and the Three” podcast.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what he had to say about how that particular tilt was the fulcrum of the entire series — and its outcome.
