Boston looks back on a great game – AS.com

The Celtics are able to take the games in which they are vastly superior and the tightest ones. It is the script of a star player, something that many rivals will have to keep an eye on. The Thunder brought them to an interesting battle in the final minutes, without the alleged pressure of a rival who is indeed a candidate to win the championship. The two works proposed at the Garden this Monday evening are valuable. Boston won with caste and trade despite having to overcome unfavorable distances by fifteen points.

Tatum (27) and Brown (26) were the same as always, the supporters of the greens, but they had the third sword expected from Smart (22). On the opposite side, Canada’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to hold off on something big: 37 points on a 50% accuracy percentage from the field.

The Thunder put up a good lead in the fourth quarter, which was too much for them under pressure from Mazzulla’s infielder. In the last two minutes they came in with two 3-pointers, first by Smart and then by White, who broke the tie. Shai insisted on a 2+1. Smart and White, on two different plays, hit layups to put more ground in the center. The Thunder didn’t give up and forced Tatum to make free throws with four seconds left to seal the score in their favor.

Balance of these two teams:

· Celtics: 11-3

· Thunder: 6-8
