Boston Celtics: 1 stud and 1 dud from C’s dominating win over Warriors

Wednesday night’s game was viewed by many as a star-studded event out on the west coast, as Jayson Tatum and the red-hot Boston Celtics ventured to the Bay Area to take on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

Ultimately, however, it was the visiting C’s who made the Chase Center feel like home, as Boston managed to dominate from buzzer to buzzer, downing the dubs and attaining win No. 42 on the year by means of a 20+ point lead come the conclusion of the fourth, with a final score reading 110-88.

For the shamrocks, Tatum and fellow franchise cornerstone, Jaylen Brown, led the way with 26 points apiece to go along with a combined 19 rebounds and seven assists.

Unfortunately for Golden State, their own centerpiece in Curry wasn’t able to see the contest through, as he suffered an ankle injury in a loose-ball scrum midway through the second and never wound up seeing any on-court action thereafter.

Though the likes of Jordan Poole (29 points) and Klay Thompson (18 points) tried their best to keep the Warriors in the game, as they even spearheading a third-quarter surge that saw their deficit get cut to just 10, in the end, without their star point guard a successful comeback proved to be too difficult to achieve.

Frankly, even if the G.O.A.T shooter was able to play the full duration of the game, pulling out a win likely would have still been a hard feat to accomplish, for the Boston Celtics as an entire unit were seemingly firing on all cylinders, as three players went on to post 20 or more points on the night while just two finished the game with a negative plus-minus rating (more on that later).

In response to Wednesday night’s dominating win over the Golden State Warriors, we at HH would like to pinpoint 1 stud and 1 dud from C’s the exhibition:
