NBA. After the first two meetings which took place in California, the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors travel to Massachusetts to play the next two games of the NBA Finals. 1-1 between Stephen Curry’s franchise and Jayson Tatum’s so far.
NBA Finals with enormous intensity and players giving everything to win the title and a championship ring. Since Friday, June 3, the series between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors has been the scene of rare matchups with players who dominate their sport. For the moment, the two franchises are neck and neck (1-1) before going to Massachusetts for two new meetings.
After having “taken water” defensively in the first game, the Warriors under the impetus of Draymond Green corrected the situation and limited the Celtics to 38% shooting success (compared to 51% in the first meeting). Triple NBA champion with Golden State, the strong winger of the Warriors knows well his tense atmosphere during the NBA finals and does not hesitate to sometimes exceed the limits as pointed out by the back Jaylen Brown, main victim of “Dray”: “Draymond, he will do anything to win: pull on clothes, grab you… he played more physical to try to stop us and now we will have to do the same”. The tone is set: next confrontation on Thursday, June 9 at 3:00 a.m. French time.
