(ESPN/KVOE) The Boston Celtics used their speed, length and physical superiority to bury the Golden State Warriors 116-100 in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead in the NBA Finals.
Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 27 points, followed by 26 from Jayson Tatum and 24 from Marcus Smart. The Celtics outrebounded the Warriors 47-31 overall, including a 15-6 edge on offensive rebounds.
Warriors guard Steph Curry led all scorers with 31 points. He also suffered an unspecified leg injury during a loose-ball scrum late in the game. He says he’ll be back for Game 4, which is Friday night in Boston.
