Yeah, that happened: 10 Takeaways from Celtics-Warriors NBA Finals Game 1

1. Yeah, that happened.

It really happened.

It wasn’t a dream.

The Boston Celtics exploded in the biggest fourth quarter turnaround in Finals history and now lead the 2022 NBA Finals 1-0 over the Golden State Warriors.

After a back-and-forth first half, the Celtics held a 56-54 lead at the break. Then, as is prone to happen, the third quarter went off the rails.

Golden State outscored Boston 38-24 in the third quarter and built a lead as large as 15 points. Things weren’t looking great for the Celtics.
