Celtics fall to Warriors 123-107 in Finals rematch
The Boston Celtics have been the NBA's most dominant team this season, while the Golden State Warriors have surprisingly been just .500, but tonight in San Francisco you wouldn't have thought that. Jaylen Brown had a strong game with 31 points, but Jayson Tatum's struggles against Golden State continued. Tatum shot just 6 of 21 from the field and finished with a pedestrian 18 points.
Klay Thompson and Steph Curry paced the Warriors with 66 of their points. The final score was Warriors 123, Celtics 107. The 21-6 Celtics will finish off their road trip in Los Angeles on Monday and Tuesday versus the Clippers and Lakers respectively.

Jaylen Brown: "We definitely played a little tense tonight ... Last year is over. We payed like we had this one circled instead of playing our game."
