Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum scored a combined 77 points to help push their team to victory. This is the first home game for the Celtics in the series.
On the other side, Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 31 points before he had to leave late in the fourth quarter with an apparent foot injury. There have been no updates on his status as of now. His potential injury could mean big changes for the series.
The team is hopeful that everything will be ok for Game 4 with Thompson saying, “Steph’s gonna do everything in his power to play. I really hope he’s OK because he’s our identity.”
Game 3 showed that Klay Thompson might be back. He had spoken prior to the game that he would like to get his shooting touch back.
“Gosh, probably just YouTube ‘Game 6 Klay’ because there were some very high-pressurized situations I was in,” Thompson said. “I ended up shooting the ball well. When you can do it when your back is against the wall, you can do it at any given moment. It’s just about keeping that mental strong.”
Unfortunately, Thompson’s bounce-back performance was not enough to help the Warriors win.
Game 4 is set for Friday in Boston.
