00:00It's Bryan Anderson along with Jim Jackson. They are ready to tip it off. The man, Tony Brown, will put it in the air and away we go and
00:07the Golden State Warriors have the first possession.
00:13Golden State
00:14starting Curry and Oubre in the backcourt with Wiggins, Green and Looney.
00:19Well, for the Warriors, of course, Steph making a lot of threes, but defensive rebounding is going to be a premium put on the Warriors being that they're going to go small sometimes.
00:27Draymond Green will trend it downward. Let's see if they can approve on that tonight.
00:32Some injury news for both teams. James Wiseman not available for Golden State tonight.
00:38He's out with a wrist injury. Seven to ten days, they're thinking. Kimball Walker, good sign for him.
00:43High expectations means that you've got to shut off the box early. Haven't seen it as of yet.
00:50Oubre, whoa, fires one down on Daniel Tice. Kelly, Oubre, hello.
00:55That Oubre is uber-athletic that time.
00:59Sawing the bounce off two feet inside the lane.
01:03Here is Jalen Brown. He is having a career year.
01:07Shooting about 52% in the mid-range.
01:12Ty's able to break up the lob attempt.
01:15Here's Curry. Gets it right back.
01:16And Stephen Curry drills a three.
01:19Curry telling us earlier he's starting to feel more and more comfortable.
01:23Starting to find his space on the floor with guys like Green and Curry.
01:28Thompson battling inside. Scores it on Kevon Looney.
01:31Doing a lot of that, Jim. He's rebounding and he's passing and he's playmaking.
01:35And he always brings great defense to the party as well.
01:38As Curry fires and hits his third three.
01:41And Brad Stevens wants a timeout.
01:43Fifth consecutive game in this particular starting five for Golden State.
01:48They had Wiseman coming off the bench.
01:50If you're just picking us up as Walker hits a mid-range.
01:53Steve Kerr has seen his Warriors play well here recently.
01:58They are 11-9.
01:59The Warriors currently in the seventh spot.
02:01Another three-pointer is down for Golden State.
02:04That's five of nine.
02:05Eventually play small with Green at the five.
02:09It's something they're comfortable doing.
02:10And it is a much different team though as Curry takes the contact.
02:14Scores it.
02:15And one for Stephen Curry.
02:16Shooting percentage from behind the arc as well in their victories.
02:20And that's a team-wide stat as well.
02:22Carried in bulk by Curry as Jason Tatum finally gets loose.
02:28Dynamic duo in Boston of Tatum and Brown.
02:31Tatum's 22, Brown 24.
02:34And both scoring at a very high clip.
02:36Curry got a second chance.
02:37And did not miss that time.
02:40Stephens trying to get Tatum going here.
02:45And Tatum scores again.
02:47His second made basket.
02:49The Celtics have to make a move and get consecutive defensive sides.
02:52They did not match the energy early on of the Golden State Warriors.
02:56Hence, that's why they're behind right now.
02:57Another easy layup and drive by Stephen Curry.
03:01He injured in their last game against Detroit.
03:05That was a lopsided win for the Warriors.
03:08A 27-point win.
03:10But they can go extremely fast.
03:13Start to the game with seven points.
03:15Now he's added two more.
03:17Tatum has scored the last eight points.
03:20All of his eight have come in the Celtics' last eight.
03:23And now Teague gets into the act as he buries a three.
03:25He had three games postponed.
03:27He missed five.
03:29Could have been a lot more.
03:30But one of the many teams missing multiple games is Teague starting to get a little hot here.
03:38Toscano Anderson gets to the lane.
03:40Oh, denied by Tice.
03:44Excellent help defense that time by Daniel Tice.
03:49And Tatum answers on the other end.
03:527-3 wingspan of Kelly Oubre.
03:55That's his first miss of the night, though.
03:56And now Tatum drills one over Juan Toscano Anderson.
04:02Working out of our studio kits here, calling this game.
04:06Sometimes we don't know.
04:07I was calling a great game, but nobody could hear me as Brown goes in to score.
04:12Some of my best play-by-play I've ever had.
04:14San Francisco, California.
04:16Stephen Curry back on the floor.
04:18You see the differential when he's sitting.
04:21And when he is on, he had a 17-point first quarter.
04:23Minus 12 with him off and go ahead and add two more to the on-the-floor.
04:28So Klay Thompson, that could be on the court.
04:30You had a Kevin Durant.
04:31Unlike the other teams that have multiple superstars, see a great three-point shot in the corner from Brown.
04:37Those numbers are going to be skewed more towards the negative side when Steph is off the court because of that.
04:45Oh, Stephen is just on fire to start this game.
04:48And what?
04:54Kimball Walker steps in for a three-pointer.
04:57It is good.
04:58And Walker, a good start shooting the ball tonight.
05:01You're down a man.
05:03Everybody has to contribute, so a good job on the boards by Golden State.
05:08Jason Tatum with the first bucket of the second half.
05:11You have a great offensive rebounders in the NBA.
05:13And Boston cannot take advantage.
05:17A third chance here.
05:18Tice kept it alive.
05:19Brown blocked at the rim and finally scores.
05:26That's Bazemore.
05:27Good save.
05:29And plenty of time here.
05:30Wiggins goes to work.
05:31Nice finish.
05:32He was in the finals last year representing the East.
05:35But as you look at the trios that we just showed you, which one is most intriguing?
05:41Which in the shooting stride and Bazemore cashes in for him.
05:44His first made three of the night for Bazemore.
05:46Three-point game.
05:49Walker with green on him.
05:51Little step-back jumper is good for Kimball Walker.
05:54The lead up six over Golden State.
05:56Boston with the ball here as we go under four minutes of this third quarter.
06:00Warriors without James Wiseman tonight.
06:04Riffed it on a bit of a run there.
06:05Now they push their lead back to six.
06:09Bazemore cuts to the basket.
06:10Gives it up.
06:11Paschal lets a man go by and scores.
06:14Thompson back full healthy next year after that ACL injury.
06:18Teague scores for Boston.
06:20Their lead back to four.
06:21Curry quick release.
06:23And it's cash.
06:24Stephen Curry with his six made three jimmies.
06:28One of Steve Kerr's biggest concerns was rebounding.
06:32It has been throughout the year.
06:34As Curry fires another one and another one splashes down for Stephen.
06:39Boston had pushed their lead to nine, but the Warriors had an answer.
06:44Tatum now gets by Mulder.
06:46Here is Williams.
06:47Sidestep three on its way.
06:49How about that one from Grant Williams?
06:52Boston is plus nine on the rebounding category after the first half.
06:58They were tied at 21 at the end of one half.
07:01Tatum for three.
07:01Rattles one home.
07:09Here's Wiggins.
07:10Nice setup by Oubre.
07:12Wiggins got a deep and an easy two-handed jam.
07:15Helper come down, but by bailing out, you just gave an easy two to Wiggins inside.
07:20Thompson powers his way in over Paschal.
07:24Boy, that was a strong finish.
07:27Boston a little shaky as we start to dig into this fourth quarter.
07:31Here's Damian Lee.
07:35Oh, nice take inside.
07:37Scores over Green.
07:39Starting here tonight.
07:40Great to be back.
07:42Tice, no.
07:43There's another offensive rebound.
07:44The seventh offensive rebound of the second half for Boston.
07:48And Brown able to score it for Boston.
07:51Now one and done for Golden State.
07:54Celtics can regain the lead.
07:57They had a nine-point lead in the third.
07:59Here's Tatum in the corner.
08:00Three-pointer is in.
08:03Here's Oubre inside.
08:05He was going for the dunk.
08:06Williams there to deny him, though.
08:08It went to the left hand.
08:10Oubre gets a lot of defenders.
08:11And Walker answers with a three.
08:15Kimball was able, saw the difference, was able to get his legs up underneath from B.A.
08:19to get that shot up.
08:20And let's see if it's, I'm about to say two for two, but another offensive rebound and the foul.
08:25Walker's on him.
08:26Numbers as Boston gets back.
08:29Now Wiggins finds Oubre.
08:30Excellent defense by Brown.
08:32What a play by Jalen Brown.
08:34Watson on the other end.
08:36Oh, and Brown doing some damage.
08:39Walker.
08:40No, and Green taps it to Curry.
08:44Warriors have missed six of their last seven during this run.
08:47Curry.
08:47Oh, my goodness.
08:49What a finish by Stephen Curry.
08:53Kimball Walker.
08:54Hot pass.
08:55Finds Brown.
08:57And there's Green with a rebound.
08:58Long pass up ahead.
09:00Running the floor.
09:00Wiggins.
09:01And he scores the layup.
09:04Defense!
09:06Defense!
09:07Defense!
09:09Defense!
09:10Two free throws here.
09:13One plus a penalty for Tatum.
09:23Keeps it alive.
09:24The clock's going to run out, though, on Golden State.
09:26And that's it.
09:27And the Boston Celtics, who had dropped five of their last seven games, come up with a gutsy victory tonight on the road.
