The 2022 NBA Finals are knotted up at one game apiece as the Golden State Warriors secured a loud Game 2 victory in San Francisco against the Boston Celtics. The series now heads to Bean Town, where the Celtics will hope to shake off an ugly and resounding loss. Game 3 tips off at 8 pm EST on Wednesday night.
Boston reverted to disappointingly familiar habits in Game 2 in the Bay. They surrendered a massive third-quarter outburst to the Dubs — the Dubs outscored the C’s 19-2 to close the period.
