The Warriors were in the driver’s seat through three quarters. They entered the final frame of Thursday night’s Game 1 with a double-digit lead over the Celtics, and they had been exceptional in fourth quarters throughout the NBA Playoffs.
Well, Boston threw all of those numbers right out of the window. The Celtics outscored the Warriors 40-16 in the fourth quarter on their way to a 120-108 victory. That point differential was the largest in a fourth quarter in NBA Finals history.
