Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors had a dream start in Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals, but the Boston Celtics stormed back in the fourth quarter to steal a win at the Chase Center, handing the Warriors their first home loss of the postseason.
According to ESPN’s Tim Legler, the Celtics’ defense drained Curry in the second half, and the Warriors’ superstar needs help from his supporting cast going forward.
“I think Steph Curry ran out of gas a little bit there late, and also he’s used to somebody else getting hot to make it easier for him, and it just never really happened. Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole in particular, never really got going in this game, so it was all on Steph.”
