In a game that would most likely become the subject of historical investigation much later, Golden State Warriors fought their way from a losing end to victory against the Boston Celtics in the NBA tussle. The game ended 104-94 with a victory for the warriors.
It isn’t all the time that a team that’s down on points and facing potential defeat shakes off that spectre and pulls off a coup on the pitch in the dying hours of a game, ultimately winning it. But that is exactly what happened. And fans can’t stop reliving that historic moment.
Jordan Poole was one of the biggest names of the match, putting in a record performance and earning the commendation of fans and teammates alike. A three-pointer by the 22-year-old shooting guard from Milwaukee pushed the warriors to a 75-74 lead in the dying minutes of the game.
That appeared to have stoked up the energy of the warriors as they went on to beat the Celtics, earning a place on the table ahead of their rivals.

Andrew Wiggins was another standout figure in the game, as his 10-0 streak at the start of the fourth quarter somehow empowered the team with the belief that they could overcome. And they did in game 5 of the NBA finals.
With an impressive 104-94 win over the Celtics, which puts them on a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series, the Warriors have moved to within one win of the NBA title.
The Celtics may have put on an impressive performance, but it wasn’t enough to illuminate their path.
The latest win is particularly significant in that it marks the eleventh win in twelves games on home turf, postseason, for the Warriors.

With the latest win, it became a common joke in NBA circles that the Warriors actually merit their name. Well, can you beat that?
