The Golden State Warriors are on fire, and they just proved it again in Boston! Stephen Curry and his Warriors squad marched into the TD Garden and staged an impressive 118-112 comeback against the Boston Celtics, marking their fifth consecutive win of the season. The Bay Area’s finest are on a roll, and even with injuries plaguing their roster, they’re showing the league just how dangerous they can be.
Warriors Weather the Storm and Celtics Surge
The game began with the Celtics flexing their offensive might, even without their co-star Jaylen Brown. Derrick White quickly made his presence known, hitting two three-pointers to give the Celtics an early lead. The Warriors fought back, evening the score at 19-19, but Boston’s own Jayson Tatum took charge, scoring on a four-point play and nailing free throws to put the Celtics up 24-19 at the end of the first quarter.
The Second Quarter Surge: Warriors Take Control
Enter the second quarter, and suddenly the Warriors found their rhythm. Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson both hit from deep, sparking an 8-0 run that put Golden State back in the lead. Though Tatum answered with a three-pointer, the Warriors had already found their groove and quickly launched into a 9-0 spree. By halftime, the Warriors were up by nine points, riding a tidal wave of momentum.
Celtics Respond, But Curry Has the Final Say
Coming out of the break, the Celtics were far from defeated. Tatum, now fully in rhythm, continued to score from beyond the arc, narrowing the Warriors’ lead and keeping Boston fans on their feet. But just as the Celtics looked to pull ahead, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins stepped up, holding the Warriors’ edge.
In the closing moments of the third, Tatum put the team on his back, dropping a remarkable 17 points in the quarter. Boston cut the lead to a single point, setting the stage for an explosive final quarter.
Curry Seals the Deal in the Fourth
The fourth quarter was everything fans hoped it would be: intense, dramatic, and downright thrilling. Derrick White helped the Celtics grab a nine-point lead midway through the quarter, sinking critical shots that had the Warriors in a precarious position. But in clutch fashion, Stephen Curry took over. With a quick six-point spurt, he breathed life back into his team, reclaiming the lead and settling the Warriors’ nerves.
Curry’s heroics didn’t stop there. Twice more, he sliced through Boston’s defense for key layups, giving Golden State the breathing room they desperately needed. In the game’s final moments, Kevon Looney and Buddy Hield added finishing touches to the scoreboard, ultimately giving the Warriors a 118-112 win.
