The Boston Celtics went on a crucial 17-0 run in the fourth quarter to stun the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, 120-108.
Al Horford erupted for 26 points and Jaylen Brown added 24 in their Finals debut to erase the 15-point deficit.
Boston outscored the Warriors 40-13 in the final frame and dealt the former’s first home loss in the post-season.
Steph Curry sizzled to start the game with 21 points on six three-pointers to set a new NBA Finals record in a quarter.
However, the Celtics answered back with their own triples and despite Jayson Tatum’s 12-point outing, he dished out 13 assists.
Game 2 will be on Monday (Philippine time).
