The Celtics beat the Warriors in OT after trailing by as many as 11 points in the second half.
Horford was the Celtics' second-highest scorer with 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting. He also brought down 10 boards.
Robert Williams arguably was the MVP of the hard-fought win as he dominated the glass with seven offensive rebounds . The Warriors had seven offensive boards as a group. Williams also tallied 14 points. The Celtics had 22 second-chance points to the Warriors' 14, as well as 52 points in the paint to Golden State's 30. They outrebounded the Warriors, 63-47.Tatum and Brown weren't the only inefficient shooters for the Celtics on Thursday. They squeaked out the OT victory despite shooting 39.8% as a team, their lowest field goal percentage since their Dec. 21 loss to the Indiana Pacers. They were 13-for-41 from beyond the arc.
The Warriors' numbers don't look a whole lot better as they were 35.3% from 3, but that number was in the 40s before they cooled off late in the fourth quarter and in OT. The Jays and the rest of the C's will need to get their groove back when they head to Toronto for a Saturday night showdown. They'll also hope this is the last time they'll see Golden State in 2023, as even with the impressive win it's clear the Warriors know how to keep Boston's stars from taking over.
