The 2022 NBA Finals game was amazing, with the Golden State Warriors building a big lead in the third quarter, but the Boston Celtics returned in the fourth quarter to steal the game and take a 1-0 lead at best. of the seven series. Al Horford led Boston in Game 1 as the veteran dropped out with 26 points and a career-high 6-3 points, while Jaylan Brown added 24 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Jason Tatum did not show his best game when it came to shooting, he was only 3 of 17 on the floor, but did a great job of tuning his teammates, finishing the victory with 13 assists.
In Game 2, the Celtics will seek to build on the momentum they found in the last 12 minutes of the first game, while the Warriors will seek to return and equalize the series before moving to Boston for two consecutive games.

Game presented Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics
Prediction of the Celtics against the Warriors, match selection 2
Bill Reiter: Draymond Green was right: The Warriors really dominated the first 40 minutes of Game 1. They will extend this feat to a full 48 minutes on Sunday, aided by some offensive results by guys like Jordan Poole, some heroic actions by Stephen Curry and a Celtics team whose supporting cast will return to average. Are Al Horford and Derrick White good players? Yes. Can you count on them for a combined 47 points in 15 of 23 shots? No. This series is far from over, which will become clear after the end of Game 2. Choice: Warriors -4 | Warriors 123, Celtics 111
Brad Botkin: We can sit down and talk about how the Boston shooters will return to earth, which is probably true, but will Stephen Curry hit six three again in a quarter? Will Jason Tatum go 3 against 17 again? I do not believe in this idea that games are played by computers designed to achieve some theoretical law of the average. Over 82 games? Fine. For two games, one has nothing to do with the other. The Celtics will make a living hell for Golden State and vice versa, as they did with each other in Game 1, because they are extremely equal. I believe the Celtics are a little better. I chose them in the series. For this one match, however, I will go with the desperate team. This is a must-win for the Warriors. They decrease by 0-2, it’s over. I do not believe this will happen. But it will be close. Celtics with the points, Warriors straight. Choice: Celtics +4 | Warriors 111, Celtics 108
James Herbert: What is the most chaotic choice I can make? Another victory for the Celtics, but this time it comes down to the last seconds? Let’s continue with this. In all seriousness, even if the Warriors force more revs (Gary Peyton II’s minutes would help) and avoid another untimely drought of points, I’m worried about their inability to find a line-up to balance distance and defense down. I hope it sounds silly later; I want (and foresaw) seven games. Choice: Celtics +4 | Celtics 113, Warriors 111
Sam Quinn: Let me be the millionth person who says Boston probably won’t shoot so well again. Yes, yes, I know, we do this dance twice a round … but the Celtics tend to regress after big nights of shooting. They have five games this postseason, shooting at least 40 percent of 3, and none of them have come in a row. More urgently, I expect a slightly more careless offensive performance from Boston if Gary Payton II plays. The Celtics averaged almost 15 frictions per game in the Miami series. They only had 12 against Golden State in Game 1. Boston should already be preferred in the series, but I give Golden State the advantage to level things in Game 2. Choice: Warriors -4 | Warriors 109, Celtics 102
Michael Caskey-Blomein: It seems unlikely that the Celtics will get the same type of performance they got in the first game from role-playing players like Derrick White, Al Horford and Peyton Pritchard in Game 2. It also seems unlikely that the Warriors will be eliminated in both of the first two games. from the series at home, knowing how hard it will be to get out of a 2-0 hole against a team as good as the Celtics. Ask Golden State to come out focused, just like they did in Game 1, but this time keep it going during the race. If they manage to stay focused for the full 48 minutes, the series should go to Boston with a 1-1 draw. Choice: Warriors -4 | Warriors 111, Celtics 104
Jasmine Wimbish: The Celtics received an evening of their career from Al Horford on their way to give the Warriors their first playoff loss at home this season. Golden State has come up with a game plan to try to shut down Jason Tatum and let everyone else beat them. The first part worked – if you don’t look at Tatum’s 13 assists – but the second part definitely didn’t go according to plan. It also doesn’t help when Jordan Poole, Clay Thompson and Draymond Green have uncharacteristic nights. The Warriors know this is a game you have to win, so I guess they play to that importance and head to Boston 1-1. Choice: Warriors -4 | Warriors 115; Celtics 110
Jack Maloney: The Celtics surprised almost everyone (except Brad and James), returning from a 15-point deficit to steal Game 1 and a home field advantage. This puts a lot of pressure on the Warriors in Game 2; they can’t lose both games in the Gulf and return to Boston 2-0. They will be the more desperate team and this time they will do the job. Choice: Warriors -4 | Warriors 115 – Celtics 106
Colin Ward-Henninger: You don’t need a basketball genius to understand how important this game is to the Warriors, but it’s not as simple as coming up with the right energy and focus. Boston has come up with some things in the fourth quarter of Game 1 that go beyond hot shooting, and it will be up to the Warriors to make adjustments. With that in mind, I expect Golden State’s supporting cast to provide more support for Steph Curry – Clay Thompson tends to play well in the proverbial games they have to win, as we all know, and Draymond Green can’t play much more. Worse than him on Thursday. I may be a little homeless, but I’ll still choose Warriors in this one – perhaps against my best judgment. I think he will have a lower result than match 1, because the defenders will know what to look for. Choice: Warriors -4 | Warriors 105, Celtics 99
