Steph Curry scored 14 points in the third quarter and Jordan Poole drilled a 39-foot buzzer-beater.
SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry led Golden State to another electric third quarter outburst Sunday night in front of a sold-out Chase Center crowd. But unlike their embarrassing collapse in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Warriors held strong and fended off the Celtics in Game 2 for a 107-88 win.
After coughing up a double-digit fourth quarter lead in Game 1 in an epic fourth quarter meltdown, the Warriors were able to sustain their third quarter momentum on Sunday, cruising throughout a comfortable fourth to tie the series 1-1. A poor first half performance kept Jordan Poole out of the game until the last 1:19 of the third quarter, but he made the most of that final 79 seconds. Poole handed out an assist on a Kevon Looney layup and hit two 3-pointers, including a highlight worthy pull-up shot from 39-feet to beat the buzzer.
Meanwhile, Draymond Green’s impact went far beyond the box score. He finished with nine points, seven assists and five rebounds but was the heart of the Warriors’ attack Sunday. He set the tone on defense and was a menace to the Celtics.
