Clippers had 12-pt advantage in the paint.
Celtics had a 45-pt advantage from 3.
Won by 32. Makes sense to me.

Horford would've added the extra 18.

My understanding is how the basketball nerds look at is, is the defense can’t consistently control how other teams shoot from three so the goal is to just limit the number of opposing three point shot opportunities.
Correct. Miami Heat successfully did that in 2023 ECF. And if Tatum didn't turn his ankle, we would've still won.
Yeah same w GS I believe.

To a lesser degree. Warriors were fine with guys like Grant and Smart shooting the three as long as they took away Jays driving/passing lanes (esp their right lol). No one on our 8-man rotation can be left alone from beyond the arc now.

Why not leave JT open?
Some fans say he's bad at shooting 3s.
