If NBA Finals history is any indication, the Celtics have already locked up their 18th championship in franchise history.
With a 116-100 win over the Warriors in Wednesday’s Game 3, the Celtics took a 2-1 series lead. In its previous 21 NBA Finals appearances, Boston jumped out to a 2-1 lead on 12 different occasions. The Celtics have never lost in that scenario, and they could move to a perfect 13-0 with two more wins against the Warriors.
But Boston knows that this Golden State team will come out swinging in Game 4 on Friday night. The Warriors have plenty of championship experience, and they overcame a 2-1 deficit in the 2015 NBA Finals to win the first title of their recent dynasty.
“We’re not gonna overreact,” Golden State guard Klay Thompson said after the Game 2 loss. “We’ve been in this situation before, getting big 2015 vibes.”
Here’s everything you need to know about Warriors vs. Celtics, including a full schedule for the NBA Finals.
