The first game of the 2022 NBA Finals was everything the fans expected it to be. The Golden State Warriors started strong, Boston fought back in the second quarter and led the game at the half by two points. The Warriors then went on a 48-24 run. And it looked like they were gonna run away with the game. But everything was going to change in the fourth quarter.

The Celtics dominated the Warriors in the fourth quarter and went on a 40-16 run. This is the biggest differential in the fourth quarter of the NBA Finals. At the post-game press conference, Warriors star Draymond Green and Klay Thompson echoed similar thoughts. They said, “It’s first to four, not first to one.” The fans, though, did not like the statements and had varied reactions.

Boston had major contributions from Al Horford and Derrick White were major factors in the Celtic’s victory. Jaylen Brown led the scoring for the Celtics with 26 points. And to imagine Boston won this game with Jayson Tatum having an off night should be a little worrying for the Warriors.

Nobody for the Warriors apart from Steph could muster a consistent office for the Warriors. Draymond, Kevon and Jordon Poole all had single-digit scores for the Warriors. Boston’s bench also dominated the game and their big men made a lot of difference in defense for them.
