Warriors use dominant 3rd quarter to even series with Celtics with 107-88 win
Well I guess we will have to settle for a split in Golden State. Boston did basically everything wrong that we hate that they do. Turnovers, hero ball, whining about calls.
Steph Curry led the Warriors with 29 points while Jayson Tatum finished with a team high 28 points. After a hot start the first couple minutes of the game, Jaylen Brown couldn't buy a bucket. Marcus Smart, Al Horford, and Robert Williams COMBINED for 6 points in the loss.
#Celtics lose 107-88, worst loss of the playoffs. Completely outplayed in second half, too focused on officiating. Tatum 28, Brown 17 White 12; Curry 29, Poole 17, Looney 12, Thompson 11, Wiggins 11.

Celtics cut the final margin to 19 (107-88)...but it's still their worst loss in four months (Feb. 27 @ Indiana).

Boston shoots 15-37 (41%) from 3 in Game 2...but an unfathomable 15-43 (35%) from 2.
Jaylen Brown - 1-11 after his 2nd foul.
Jayson Tatum - career-worst -36
Ime Udoka said the third quarter was disappointing. He also didn't like the Celtics' play during the first half.

From my experience two things typically happen after a playoff blowout loss. The media overreacts ridiculously and the losing team tends to win the next game.
