Boston (12:34) - Golden State (23:22) 118:121 after overtime The
Boston Celtics beat the Golden State Warriors 118:121 in overtime, repeating the finals from last year.
One of the heroes of the Celtics was Al Horford, the veteran center who finished the game with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks and scored a critical three-pointer in the deciding minutes.
Horford's 7-year-old son, sat in the press conference at the end of the game in the front row, and heard his father say: "You know, I wanted to come out here and win. I wanted to win a lot," Horford said.
"It's a regular season, it's just one game. But it's an important game."

Phoenix (24:22) - Brooklyn (17:27) 112:117
The game between Phoenix and Brooklyn brought together two very high quality teams but in completely different trends.
Brooklyn, who is showing signs that things might finally be coming together this season, met the Suns who are floundering in the West, and must start winning to make the playoffs.
Tonight, she showed that she has what it takes.
Mikel Bridges led the Phoenix scorers with 28 points and delivered 9 assists, 24 points and 14 rebounds. DeAndre Ayton and Cam Johnson, who replaced him, contributed 18 points.
Brooklyn was behind by 24 points, and almost came back, but in the end it was for the team from the Big Apple a fourth consecutive loss that harms its excellent balance.
Kyrie Irving scored 30 with 7 rebounds and 7 assists on the other side, Nick Claxton finished with 20 and 11 rebounds.
