The NBA Finals is all-level going into Boston. After capitulating in the fourth quarter in Game 1, the Golden State Warriors made sure none of that was going to happen as they closed out Game 2 with a flourish. But one play from Draymond Green which resulted in Stephen Curry getting an open three is leaving fans puzzled.

It was the third quarter and the Warriors were up 62-73. Curry got the ball up and Green was setting the screen for him. He set one screen and took Derrick White with him before setting another screen to block Al Horford from getting up on Curry. Steph got free and pulled up from the three-point line and made the shot.

What was the most embarrassing part is that Green set not only one but two illegal screens. He also pushed White away and there was no foul called. And Curry got a wide-open three off it.

The Celtics will be happy with the way the series has turned out so far. They have taken a game on the road and now they will have to defend home court. If the Celtics win the next 2 games, this series is almost over. But this task is easier said than done.
