Andrew Wiggins was the hero for the Warriors in a pivotal Game 5 NBA Finals victory over the Celtics Monday night. On both ends, the All-Star forward provided massive contributions, helping to fill the void left by an off-night from Golden State star Steph Curry.
Wiggins poured in 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the Warriors’ 104–94 win over the Celtics at home in the Chase Center Monday. He also played stifling defense on Boston forward Jayson Tatum, even though the first-team All-NBA selection was still able to score 27 points in the loss.
After Wiggins delivered a strong performance for the second game in a row, a 2012 tweet from Tatum began to circulate on Twitter. In the tweet, the Celtics star, who would’ve been 14 years old at the time, said he thought Jabari Parker was better than Wiggins.
