The Boston Celtics head into Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals with a slender 2-1 lead over the Golden State Warriors in what has been a fascinating contest of offensive inconsistency, tactical ingenuity, and physical defence.
Not many figures in NBA history can claim to understand perimeter defensive schemes in this era of the three-point shot better than Bruce Bowen. The San Antonio Spurs icon won three championships during his eight seasons with the franchise, where he established himself as both a clutch shooter and a tremendous defender.
Like millions around the globe, Bowen has been keenly watching these NBA Finals which have undoubtedly piqued his interest thanks to the fascinating schematic matchup between the Warriors and the Celtics. For the 50-year-old, whose No. 12 jersey was retired by the Spurs, the clutch performances late in games have proved to be the crucial aspect of this ‘tremendous’ championship series so far.
