The Warriors, reigning NBA champions, sent a strong signal on Saturday.
Golden State achieved its best performance of the start of the season with a victory once morest the Boston Celtics, current leaders of the League, with a score of 123-107.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson carried the Warriors with 34 and 32 points respectively in this ‘remake’ of the 2022 playoff final. Jordan Poole added 20 points for the California franchise, the first Western Conference team to beat Boston this season.
It was the evening of Stephen Curry, who made 6 three-point shots from 11 attempted, including one blind at the ‘buzzer’ to conclude the first quarter, nearly 10 m from the basket. “From the start, we tried to defend without making a mistake and to make it difficult for them,” reacted the MVP of the last final.
Beyond the victory, the Warriors showed great collective play and above all a lot of confidence. ‘We just played once morest these guys in the NBA Finals. We had to send a message,” commented Draymond Green.
