Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Boston extended their lead by adding another 38 points while holding the Dubs to just 19. The Green Machine's defense tightened up considerably during this period, effectively stifling Golden State's attempts to close the gap. Derrick White showcased his defensive skills with multiple blocks and steals that disrupted the Warriors' rhythm.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw both teams adjusting their strategies, but it was Boston who maintained control by scoring 28 points compared to Golden State’s 22. Payton Pritchard played a pivotal role during this stretch, not only contributing offensively but also facilitating plays that kept his teammates involved and effective.


Fourth Quarter


Despite a late surge from Golden State in which they scored 37 points in the fourth quarter, it wasn't enough to overcome Boston’s earlier dominance. The Celtics managed to secure their victory with an overall score of 121-110 against Golden State at Chase Center. This win improved their record to 36-19 while leaving Golden State at 29-27.


Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors final score highlighted what went wrong for Boston Celtics as they allowed too many turnovers late in the game which could have been costly if not for their substantial lead built earlier on.
