Boston wins Game 3, takes 2-1 lead

Stephen Curry tried to go for 25 in the third quarter. Steve Kerr ran pick and roll. Klay Thompson came back, and Golden State’s bench showed up.

Yet the Celts were not to be had. The Warriors gave their Golden, yet Boston was better, and pulled the 2-1 series lead, 116-100. It wasn’t magical, but it was earnest, and it started with Jaylen Brown’s first quarter.
