After trailing 92-80 into the fourth quarter, the Celtics pushed ahead, with Al Horford leading the way with an onslaught of three-point shooting.

Comeback win for the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics rode the most dominant fourth quarter in NBA Finals history to a 120-108 victory against the Warriors in Game 1 on Thursday night, with Jaylen Brown scoring 24 points and Al Horford hitting six 3-pointers and a team high 26 points. The Celtics’ comeback was the largest in the finals after three quarters since Michael Jordan’s Bulls defeated the Trail Blazers in Game 6 in 1992 after overcoming a 15-point deficit.

Curry’s efforts insufficient in Game 1.

Curry’s six 3-pointers in the opening 12 minutes of game 1 were the most ever in any quarter of an NBA Finals. “You have to give them credit ,they just came in and played a helluva fourth quarter. It’s as simple as that. They deserved their win.” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr.

Ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

The Celtics were the first team to trail a Finals game by ten points or more after three quarters and win by ten points or more. In these playoffs, they are 8-2 on the road. Boston is chasing a record-tying 18th championship, which would put the Celtics ahead of the Lakers – and it’s only three wins away. Boston hasn’t qualified for the finals since 2010, and their last championship came in the 2007-08 season against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.
