BOSTON, MA (SNN-TV) – Jaylen Brown scored 27 points, Jayson Tatum added 26 and the Celtics rode the energy of a raucous TD Garden crowd to beat back another third-quarter onslaught by Golden State in a 116-100 victory last night that gave them a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
Marcus Smart added 24 points and helped fuel a defensive effort that held the Warriors to 11 points in the fourth quarter — third-fewest in a finals game in the shot clock era.
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 31 points and six 3-pointers, and Klay Thompson broke out of a finals slump and finished with 25 points and five 3s. Curry suffered a leg injury in Game 3, but states that he will, no doubt, play in Game 4 tomorrow night in Boston.
