The Celtics basically inflicted a worst-case, nightmare scenario on the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Jayson Tatum scored 12 points. He shot 3 for 17 and couldn’t hit a 3 to save his life. He was a complete non-factor shooting the basketball, as the Warriors basically kept the Celtics’ star from matching scores with Steph Curry (34 points).
And yet, much to the Warriors' dismay, it meant nothing, as the Celtics won going away in front of Golden State’s home crowd at the Chase Center.
