The swing continues.
The Boston Celtics are now two wins away from their first championship since 2008 after achieving an impressive victory in the NBA Finals Series early Thursday morning, 100: 116 over the Warriors.
Ima Yuduka's team climbed to a 1: 2 advantage in the thrilling series thanks to a huge fourth quarter, which completed for them a 17:34 run to the buzzer.
So what did we have?
Boston, who dominated the game from the first midfield, already led by 18 points in the first half, but in the third quarter Steph Kerry led Golden State to a comeback and an 82:83 advantage, but then again everything changed when in the fourth quarter, the visitors got stuck on just 11 points and Boston took advantage. The offensive slack to sail happily towards the second victory in the series thanks to 23 unanswered points.
