Warriors gave Tatum no space the whole first half, then left him pretty wide open on the Cs’ first possession and he gets a 3-point foul. Bookmark that. – 9:55 PM

Great extra pass by Grant to get Tatum a 3PT look early in the 3rd. Tatum draws 3 FT on Klay and they’re reviewing the foul for a flagrant. – 9:54 PM

Could be a pretty big end to the half for the Celtics. Tatum with a 3 from the corner. Tatum with a steal and alley-oop to Tatum. Smart with a steal that leads to a Brown fast-break bucket. Steph responded with a 3, but the Celtics got two free throws late to make it a 9-3 run. – 9:39 PM

In the span of less than a week, the Pacers have:
– Beaten the mostly healthy Warriors on the road without Tyrese Haliburton or Myles Turner.
– Lost to the Nets at home without their seven highest-paid players.

Luke Kornet being glued to the rim isn’t killing the Celtics as much as you’d expect, mostly because Jaylen Brown has been fighting over screens consistently and making most shots off DHOs tough. Boston’s struggling to close out plays though and Klay has been eating off that. – 8:59 PM

Warriors went 9.5 minutes without a sub. Three-guard starting lineup played the Celtics well: 25-21. Putting Jordan Poole on Grant Williams worked. Hid him. Klay Thompson with some juice tonight on both ends. Ten early points, blocked a Tatum drive. – 8:59 PM

Love Klay Thompson’s mix of seeking his shot, creating for others early. Great example here.
Catches off split in early offense, then into PNR with Looney. Gets Griffin to commit with extra dribble, then leaves slick bounce pass for Looney.
Exactly what GSW wants from Klay. pic.twitter.com/PxSoVYdhmI – 8:55 PM

He’s tried to emulate the ball fakes of Rajon Rondo, the head fakes of Steve Smith and the footwork of Manu Ginobili. He averages nearly as many points per shot attempt as Steph Curry.

The Boston Celtics NBA-leading Offensive Rating entering tonight is 119.9.
The Phoenix Suns are second in Offensive Rating at 116.3.
That 3.6 margin between Boston and Phoenix is almost as large as the one separating Phoenix and the Cleveland Cavaliers in 12th place at 112.6. – 6:34 PM

Before tonight’s game against Boston, the Golden State Warriors will raise Bill Russell’s No. 6 to the rafters. He played high school ball in Oakland, then led the University of San Francisco to a pair of NCAA titles. – 4:35 PM
