While the Boston Celtics’ performance in the fourth quarter defined the opening game of the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors’ third quarter helped decide Game 2.
The Warriors used an electric run in the third quarter to turn a two-point halftime lead into a dominant 23-point lead heading into halftime. Golden State’s fiery third quarter helped seal a blowout 107-88 victory to even the series against Boston, 1-1.
When asked about the Warriors’ performance in the third quarter, Steve Kerr gave Steph Curry credit. While Curry’s known for his long-distance shooting and offensive arsenal, Kerr praised his point guard’s defense, conditioning and physicality.
