Andrew Wiggins emerged as the star for the Warriors, exploding for a team-high 26 points, including a pivotal 10 points in the fourth quarter. Stephen Curry chipped in 16 points and 8 assists for the victors.
Jayson Tatum led the scoring for the Celtics with 27 points and 10 rebounds, but his efforts ultimately fell short. The Warriors' defense held Boston's All-Star to just 1-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc.
The Warriors opened up a 10-point lead in the third quarter and never looked back. Wiggins' hot streak in the fourth quarter extinguished any hopes of a Celtics comeback.
