The Golden State Warriors are one win away from their fourth National Basketball Association (NBA) title in eight years after Monday’s 104-94 victory over the Boston Celtics gave them a 3-2 lead in the championship series.
Andrew Wiggins scored 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as the Warriors survived a third quarter push from the Celtics to emerge with the win, with the best-of-seven series heading back to Boston for Game Six on Thursday.
Poor shooting saw the Celtics trail by 12 at the half, but they opened the third quarter on a 10-0 run, taking their first lead of the night at 58-55 via Al Horford’s three-pointer. Wiggins, the first overall pick in the 2014 draft who has only flourished since joining Golden State in 2020, also played outstanding defense on Boston’s Jayson Tatum, who finished with 27 points.“I think it’s just a sense of what’s needed. He’s got veteran guys who are helping him to understand what we need from him, and he’s just using his athleticism in a lot of different ways.”
