After 12 years, the TD Garden in Boston will once again host an NBA Finals duel at 10:00 pm ET, when the Celtics and Golden State Warriors play Game 3 of the Finals. The series is tied at 1-1 and anything can happen on Wednesday night
Golden State has always won the first away game in the previous three series. In total, there are three wins and four losses on the opponents’ court in these playoffs. On the other hand, the Celtics have five wins and four losses at home. They lost their first duel in their domains against Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat. The exception was in the series against the Brooklyn Nets, which ended in a sweep.
Celtics standouts of the season Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum combine for 26 shots on 76 Finals attempts (34.2%), but hit is better by three points (12 of 31, 38.7%). However, it is important for the Boston team to make fewer offense mistakes than the opponent. The Golden State Warriors are a team that has a lot of turnovers, but they always punish the opponent who makes the most mistakes (4-0 in the playoffs). By limiting offensive failures, the team avoids counterattack points, something the Warriors are very good at.
Marked by Marcus Smart, the best defender of the season, Curry has 31.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and converted 46.2% of the three-pointers in the decision. The shirt 30 knows, therefore, that he needs to continue exploring the changes of marking to regain the command of the court of the finals and obtain his first MVP title in decisions. One problem for the Warriors in the series is that Klay Thompson repeats the ups and downs of the playoffs and still hasn’t had a great game. So far, Thompson has only a 26.7% shooting shot, and he’s not much better overall: 30.3%.
