2024 NBA Finals: Celtics vs. Warriors

Game 1: Celtics Roll to Victory

The Boston Celtics stole home-court advantage in the 2024 NBA Finals with a dominant 109-95 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 on Tuesday night. Jayson Tatum led the way for the Celtics with 35 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Jaylen Brown added 27 points and 6 rebounds. Stephen Curry led the way for the Warriors with 27 points, but he shot just 9-of-25 from the field.

The Celtics jumped out to a quick start, leading by as many as 19 points in the first half. They held the Warriors to just 40.9% shooting from the field in the first half, and they forced 9 turnovers.

The Warriors fought back in the third quarter, cutting the lead to just 5 points at one point. However, the Celtics regained control of the game in the fourth quarter, and they cruised to a victory.

The Celtics now have a 1-0 lead in the series, and they will look to take a 2-0 lead when they host the Warriors in Game 2 on Thursday night.

Potential Changes for Game 2

The Warriors will need to make some adjustments if they want to even the series in Game 2. They will need to shoot the ball better from the field, and they will need to find a way to slow down Tatum and Brown.

The Celtics, on the other hand, will look to continue their strong play from Game 1. They will need to be aggressive on both ends of the court, and they will need to make the Warriors work for everything they get.

The 2024 NBA Finals are off to a great start, and Game 2 promises to be another exciting matchup between two of the best teams in the league.
