00:00...on his focus. Pritchard's checked in
00:02for Hauser. The Warriors also
00:03with a sub. Moody's checked in for Peyton.
00:06Gives us a chance to catch up with
00:08Allie LaForce. During that break
00:10coach Steve Kerr had some advice for the
00:12team. And they told the team it's close
00:14we've got a chance if we battle.
00:16Compete. You can see the players love
00:18the message. They look fired up. We'll see
00:20if it works Brian. Great work Allie, thanks.
00:22Well they have leaned on him
00:24offensively with good reason.
00:26Efficiency will help
00:27him win a lot of games.
00:31And it's Cornette with a rebound.
00:34Cornette's got four rebounds
00:36now. And they've committed
00:37to controlling the boards.
00:39And it's paying dividends. And out of bounds.
00:42The Warriors will take it.
00:48Warriors trail by six.
00:52Pass to post.
00:57Back to heel.
01:00Here's the pick.
01:02From outside the arc.
01:05Holliday grabs the miss.
01:07Holliday's got his fifth rebound in this one.
01:13On the wing, Tatum.
01:14Guarded by heel.
01:18Horford inside.
01:21Pass to Pritchard.
01:22Let's go with a three.
01:24Rebound by post.
01:25Given his range,
01:27you'd expect him to capitalize on that opening.
01:34Back to heel.
01:41outside Curry.
01:43And a miss there on the triple.
01:47Celtics lead by six.
01:52Outside holiday.
01:55Pass to Tatum.
01:59shoots over Curry.
02:01And it's Tatum missing.
02:04Golden State has gone four of nine from three-point range in the fourth.
02:11Now Pajimski.
02:14Here's post.
02:18And here's heel to win the draft.
02:22And the Warriors miss again.
02:24Yeah, I know.
02:25He usually makes you pay from that range.
02:27Pass to Tatum.
02:28Puts up a three.
02:30And Tatum catches him from the corner.
02:33Well, we don't see Tatum shoot the corner three all that often.
02:37But that doesn't mean he can't hit him.
02:40Back to Moody.
02:42And there's the slam dunk to finish it off.
02:45And what an aggressive move to the rim.
02:48He's really trying to fire up his teammates right now.
02:51Boy, it's not hard to feel inspired after a teammate makes that kind of finish.
02:56Well, that's exactly what's needed when you're trying to turn things around.
03:00And Joe Mazula calls timeout here.
03:03Looking to get everyone dialed in and engaged.
03:07And Boston with some changes.
03:09Kristaps Porzingis.
03:10He's checked in for Cornette.
03:12Brown comes in for Horford.
03:13And Derek White subbed in for Holiday.
03:16The ball's knocked loose.
03:17Stolen by Booker.
03:25Outside Moody.
03:29Pass to Curry.
03:32Back to Moody.
03:34Down to five on the shot clock.
03:36Adebayo sets a screen.
03:38Oh, Moody deadly from there.
03:40Coming down the stretch.
03:42They've leaned on the perimeter game.
03:44Well, if you're looking to get points in a hurry as the game clock's running down, that's certainly the way
03:49to do it.
03:50Yeah, the way Tatum shares the ball really completes his package.
03:54And coach, you look at Derek White.
03:55Maybe not the biggest name, but he is a winning player.
03:59Yeah, Brian, he's one of the most underrated players in the league.
04:02He's got a great feel for the game at both ends of the court.
04:06He is tremendously solid across the board.
04:22White is such a well-rounded player.
04:25He can run the offense, act as an off-ball threat.
04:28He sets screens, and he's an all-defensive team-level player.
04:33He checks a lot of boxes.
04:38Hooker, the pass to Curry.
04:41And the three off target.
04:43His shot selection's been poor.
04:45If I were coaching this team, he'd be sitting next to me.
04:49Down low.
04:51Inside.
04:52White gets it to go.
04:53I like that from White.
04:55Attack in the heart of that defense.
04:58And Hooker's got the ball here for the Warriors.
05:01They trail by nine on the attack, Curry.
05:04And he was fouled while in the act of shooting, so he'll take two free throws.
05:08And a moment to look at the scoring approach in terms of where the points are coming from here for
05:13the Celtics.
05:14Well, they've clearly been focused on getting the ball inside.
05:17And up to this point, the defense has not had an answer.
05:20And we also got to talk about the number of points they've scored in transition.
05:25Just jumping all over the opposition in this regard.
05:30Back to Pritchard.
05:31Oh, deflected.
05:32And stolen by Booker.
05:36Curry from inside.
05:38And Steph relishes taking key shots.
05:41It's what he's out there to do.
05:43Celtics lead by five.
05:48Outside, Brown.
05:49On the wing, Tatum.
05:59From the arc, drains the triple.
06:03Tatum's got 35 in the game.
06:06Solid from three.
06:08Tatum is not shy about firing away.
06:12Outside, Curry.
06:14Let's the three fly.
06:16Boston pulls it in.
06:18Porzingis has got ten rebounds here tonight.
06:20And so active.
06:21Pass to Brown.
06:22Let's it go from deep.
06:24And the rebound goes to the Warriors.
06:27Looney's got 11 rebounds in the game.
06:29And Steve Kerr calls timeout.
06:32He wants their game plan to be crystal clear at this point.
06:49Warriors trail by eight.
06:50And that's what it is for Boston's own Celtics Entertainment.
07:01Warriors trail by eight.
07:04Hooker off the bounce.
07:06Hooker off the bounce.
07:07It's good.
07:08And he drew contact on the shot.
07:10He will go to the line.
07:12Three-point play opportunity.
07:17Yeah, just an offensive machine.
07:19Booker generates points consistently night in and night out.
07:24Outside white.
07:26Off the mark there with a three.
07:31The Warriors shooting around 44%.
07:34Not bad.
07:35Moody passes to Looney.
07:39Let's it fly.
07:41And all around the rim that time before dropping.
07:44Now just a three-point Boston lead.
07:46Oh, a high-volume score with just too many moves to count.
07:52Hooker is so dependable under pressure.
07:55Here's Tatum.
07:56Oh, Drake D that time from Adebayo.
08:00Now the Warriors with it.
08:05There's 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
08:08It's the fire he's playing with that has him leading the team in rebounds.
08:12Double digits for him on the glass.
08:14He's getting it done.
08:18Here's Tatum.
08:20On target at the rim.
08:22And the game isn't over yet.
08:24But they have to move quickly.
08:26Yeah, this one isn't over.
08:28But they can't afford to waste any time now.
08:33Outside Booker.
08:35The three from Curry.
08:37This is the trade.
08:39And they foul intentionally.
08:41Now they're going to have to do that again.
08:43They're not in the penalty just yet.
08:44Getting a little desperate at this stage.
08:47I mean, clock's the big factor.
08:52And they go to the intentional foul.
08:58He hits the first one.
08:59And that gives him a four-point cushion.
09:04And so he drops them both.
09:06And it's a five-point game.
09:07No doubt.
09:08And just about seals it.
09:11Time called here.
09:12The Warriors decide to talk it over.
09:1511 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter of this one.
09:18What do you think is going to be their best move at this point?
09:21An uphill battle for them.
09:23Everything has to go perfectly.
09:24Well, I'm sure they'll run a play they believe in.
09:27If it works, I say try for the steal.
09:31And if you don't get it, immediate pass.
09:34Two.
09:39So the first one drops.
09:40And that increases the lead to six.
09:45Second one is good.
09:46Getting both at the line.
09:48And it's a seven-point game.
10:01So it's a narrow victory for the Celtics.
10:04Pulling it out for the W.
10:06Boy, they didn't make it easy on their fans or themselves.
10:09But at the end of the day, everyone on their side is happy.
10:13Yeah, happy indeed.
10:14The momentum shifted away from them a few times, especially early on.
10:18But give these guys credit for sticking with the game plan and finishing the job.
10:24All right, let's go courtside to Allie LaForce with our player.
10:27All right, Allie, thank you.
10:28And that about wraps it up for Stan Van Gundy, Grant Hill, and Allie LaForce.
10:33This is Brian Anderson.
10:34We hope you enjoyed our broadcast.
10:37And we'll see you next time.
10:38We'll see you next time.
