Minute-by-minute report: Steph Curry starred in a blowout victory for the Warriors as they leveled their series with the Celtics.

Final thoughts

It’s the least surprising thing in the world that the Warriors tied up the NBA Finals at 1-1 although, if you happen to be a Celtics fan, it has to be annoying that they lost what was a one-possession game at halftime in blowout fashion after committing so many lazy turnovers. You can’t do that against any team especially not Maybe The Greatest Third Quarter Team In NBA History.

The good news for Boston is that the Celtics haven’t lost two games in a row this entire postseason and they will be playing at home in Game 3. One assumes their head coach has plenty of film for them to watch and mistakes that he needs to point out. We’ll continue our coverage of the 2022 NBA Finals here at the Guardian all this upcoming week but that will do it for today’s live coverage. Thanks to all who followed along with this liveblog, particularly those who contributed. Ciao!

The Golden State Warriors have evened out the NBA Finals 1-1. The series will continue on Wednesday in Boston’s TD Garden!

Celtics 88-107 Warriors, FINAL

Veteran Nik Stauskas, who nearly quit basketball, is in for the Celtics and he hits a three-pointer. It won’t affect the final outcome but it’s nice to see him get a basket in a Finals game. The Celtics’ Malik Fitts gets the final meaningless points for Boston and that will do it.

Luke “The Green” Kornet dunks. Poole hits a three-pointer. The clock mercifully ticks down without any whistles from the officials.
