Celtics vs Warriors game 5 recap

Andrew Wiggins and the Golden State Warriors are now just one game away from winning the NBA title. Wiggins had a career night finishing with a team high 26 points also grabbing 13 boards and also shot 12-23 {52.2% FG} not just Wiggins but the whole Warriors team shot horribly from beyond the arc {9-40, 22.5%} including 0-15 3PT from Wiggins and Curry combined which was Stephen Curry’s first game in over 3 ½ years with no made threes in a game and his first career playoff game without a three made. Curry really struggled this game just finishing with 16 points on 7-22 shooting, Klay Thompson did show up with 21 points with a few three’s made {5-11 3PT}.

You’ve got to be nervous as a Celtics fan as this team tends to become tight as the big moment arrives and that’s what’s happening here, although we’ve seen Boston twice in these playoffs come back from being down 2-3 in a series against the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat. Jayson Tatum did play well with a game high of 27 points and to go with that 4 assists and 10 boards, but turnovers cost the Celtics in the end as Boston had 18 turnovers to Golden State’s 6. Considering how badly the Warriors shot beyond the arc and still won has to be a sign, but Boston has home court advantage heading into game 6.
