In Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals, the Celtics stole home-court advantage from the Warriors with an impressive comeback victory. After two days off, the teams are back in action for Game 2 on Sunday.

Boston, which is now an impressive 8-2 on the road in the 2022 NBA Playoffs, handed Golden State its first home loss of the postseason. Dating back to the 2018-19 regular season, the Celtics have won five straight games in The Bay and are a perfect 3-0 at the Chase Center.

The Celtics' depth was on full display in the series opener, as players not named Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum combined to shoot 30-of-45 (66.7 percent) from the field, including impressive performances from Al Horford, Marcus Smart and Derrick White.

For the Warriors, Stephen Curry sank six triples in the opening frame on his way to a game-high 34 points. He was much quieter over the final 36 minutes, though, paving the way for the Celtics to get back into the game and dominate the fourth quarter.

With Game 2 taking place on a Sunday, things will tip off an hour earlier than Game 1.
