rob with another sick block!

great chemistry between smart and jaylen. great cut jaylen, great pass smart for the and-1. that's what happens when you've got 2 guys who have been playing together for 6 years.

Smart-Tatum went too early. Didn't cost us

Thankfully they made that adjustment out of the last TO.

Really wanted that Tatum three to drop. But I'll take a 16-point lead and holding the Warriors to 32 in the first half.

What an absolutely outstanding half of basketball. Don't care one bit about the missed 3's. When you hold GSW to 17 and 15 point quarters that trumps EVERYTHING else IMO.

Tatum only 7 shots, but 11 points thanks to being aggressive with the drive. 7-7 from the FT line, plus 7 boards.

Was nice to see Jaylen finally hit a three, and a couple of nice cuts.

This is like the 3rd game when the star of the opposing team gets injured in the first half...we had Trae, Luka, and now Curry. The first two returned in the game, will Curry return too?

Disagree, it's beautiful.

LOL, in a sense it is, the Celts' defense has been top notch. But both teams are also being careless with the ball, nothing flows.

Keep that defense up. But also expect a run led by Curry's hot shooting. Keep composure when he's hitting ridiculous ones.

This our defense AND offense in one gif.

they aren't injured, they take a break from our stifling D.

Ugly ugly ugly ugly

Cobra & Timelord have been our best players.
Maybe JT will start binging it in the second half,- although he is getting to the line.
JB very inconsistent.
Derrick cannot make a shot.

Come out & crush their souls in Q3.
Hope Steph is not too hurt, but is hurt enough to not play.

KEEP UP THE AWESOME D!

Both defenses are so in your face and physical, it’s going to force guys to rush and turn it over.

Luckily we have been great getting back in transition, off of the TO’s.

Time Lord cleaned up a LOT of the team's defensive miscues. He just absolutely pasted those layups on the backboard, killing any momentum the Warriors might have had. What a gem of a find he's been, thanks Ainge!

Please don't let this be a carbon copy of the Dallas game.
