The Warriors and Celtics head to Boston for Game 3 with the NBA Finals tied at 1-1.
After the Celtics used a fourth quarter comeback to steal Game 1 on the road, the Warriors responded in dominating fashion to come away with a 19-point win in Game 2 to even the series.
Behind 29 points, six rebounds and four assists from superstar guard Stephen Curry, Golden State was able to crack Boston's stifling defense. Curry really caught fire during the Warriors' third quarter run that decided the game, sending Chase Center into a frenzy after burying a deep 3-pointer to emphasize how in rhythm he was.

Golden State's gameplan to switch Draymond Green onto Jaylen Brown worked to perfection, holding the Celtics star to 17 points on 17 shots. As a team, Boston had a playoff-high-tying 19 turnovers, which led to a playoff-worst 33 points off turnovers for the Warriors.
