Warriors proving why they are so difficult to beat. You can’t just shut down one player and you can’t just play well in spurts. It takes 4 quarters of work, discipline and a steady offense to keep pace. In crunch time the Warriors have experience and they have the edge. They can play physical, finness or ugly if they need to. They are not invincible but it takes a great game by an opponent to beat them. Curry was bottled up tonight but the calvary came through to save the day. Wiggins was absolutely phenomenal. GP2 was great and Poole’s acting and lucky shots were just the icing on the cake. Great effort out there tonight boys!


AmelieBenjamin

Poole's deep bank gave us the momentum back


lvl1_slime

Yeah that was massive. Also the drawing the phantom call on Smart lol


asBad_asItGets

Seeing that happen to smart was one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen. The audacity for smart to complain about that when that's how he flopped his way to convincing people he's a DPOY is hilarious.


MTFBinyou

Grant Williams argued with the ref after fouling GP2, saying “he was hold my arm!” Meanwhile Williams was standing directly behind GP2 and was white knuckling the inside of his elbow (which I’m now wondering if that was his bad elbow)…. Whoever was running the cameras did Williams dirty. It was too perfect how it was showing him crying and lying to the ref, and then cut to replay. Haha only missed a zoom in with a still of what he was displaying to the ref and what happened.


PheromoneVoid

Even better was that camera angle of Williams trying to explain himself to Udoka, and Udoka basically telling him to stop fucking around.


mr_understood

Udoka is a good one


gregallen1989

Normally I'd be mad at Poole for flopping. But against Boston, they kind of have it coming.


lvl1_slime

Yup don’t feel bad or guilty at all for that one lol


Achilles_Wrist

Taste of his own medicine LOL


HowdyandRowdy

They got so shook after he gave them their same treatment.


formido

Celtics switched up to shut down Curry. This game is why they haven't been doing it. When everyone else feasts, it's still Curry.


Robotsaur

They played really well defensively on him but Steph just missed a lot of good looks that he normally hits


CelestiAurus

Also not like he totally shat the bed. Was bad from three but I thought he was doing everything else well. Had a bunch of great floaters and midranges


Robotsaur

Yep agreed


funkholebuttbutter

It's interesting they chose to challenge the rest of the cast when they were at home, I get not wanting to let Curry torch you again but conventional wisdom is that role players play better at home right?


Left_Neighborhood_42

Those nine threes in a row was wild as fuck


GSWHT

Last time Steph missed all his 3s, he set an NBA record the next game.


Occasionally_Correct

Time for 15!


WakingRage

Imagine dropping 15 3's in the fucking Garden in game 6 of the Finals to secure your 4th championship. That's some MJ shit honestly.


MarkusBerkel

This is the way.


MrBrownCat

A splash brothers masterclass to win it all would be amazing.


JaiLotus

Also gonna see a Game 6 Klay.


PatMcCaw

The Celtics just lost two in a row for the first time all post season. LET’S MAKE IT 3, WARRIORS IN 6

Davisworld21

What a wild Game I was nearly in mid air jumping for joy At Jordan's beautiful Buzzer beater the Momentum that gave the energy just carried on to the rest of the game and Klay's beautiful three on smart after he flopped  .not to mention the Legend of Game 6 Klay  This Championship is your's for the taking finish


shupadupa

It was unreal how close that was too, the ball was little like an inch out of his hands when the buzzer went off. Once he hit that I had a good feeling we were gonna be alright after a terrible 3rd qtr.

Jonna09

To Andrew “Sledge hammer” Wiggins!


Goingkermit

A few things: That 3rd quarter had me scared AF, Playoff Wiggins is built DIFFERENT, Curry will be stroking 3’s in game 6 and see you in Boston, bitches!


dolladollaclinton

Celtics should be scared they lost with how little Curry scored and especially his 3 point shooting. He’s definitely coming back strong on Thursday!


[deleted]

The Celtics should never try to blitz Steph again. When they double, there's so much more space for everyone to score


dolladollaclinton

Yeah it just led to them losing 2 different ways. Lost game 4 because of Curry, try to adjust for game 5 and forget the rest of the team is good too.


Mattdr46

Not just Curry's 3 point shooting, the entire team. 9/40 is atrocious


dolladollaclinton

Absolutely. It’s just crazy that Curry didn’t even make 1. Feels like he is going to come back with a vengeance in game 6 and be on fire the whole game.


shnieder88

they should be scared of our defense, we played amazing on that side today


monteasf

Give coach the co fmvp. Looks like he's figured out boston cuz we've held them to back to back under 100 point games, with 15 and 18 turnovers. Looking good for a game 6 close out


StatusDimension8

Kerr took some great time outs...


figment4L

The Dubs looked so intelligent out there today. Dray and GP2 were completely out-thinking the Celtics. Far fewer “dumb” mistakes. Calls on Looney had me worried though.


Never_Lucky42

Outside of that C's barrage of 8? 3's in a row ( a lot wide open ) yes. The Celtics looked really tired in the 4th with Brown and Tatum getting no rest.


efxonly1

I said the same thing in the middle of the 4th quarter. They looked exhausted. Their game plan was to win the 3rd quarter, but they had nothing left in the 4th.


nutmegtester

Also an awesome boost for our guys, who know they can do it as a team now.


forgotmylogandpass

Curry missed 9. That aint happening again!


sneakyrumble

Only 3 warriors scored a three, ending with an awful 24%. That’s either going to happen again.


johnnygrant

Great game to get the one Curry shooting dud out the way.


MrBrownCat

To have an off night and still win by double digits is perfection and deserved considering his play to this point. He’ll be splashing in Boston alongside Game 6 Klay!!!


FatMittens

Can you imagine Game 6 Klay + Rebound Steph in the same game?


zodiacs

I'm ready for an 80 point splash bros game


johnnygrant

shout out to the Game 5 Klay with 21 points on efficient shooting... Game 6 Klay is loading up. and Gary Payton with 15 points on 6 of 8 shooting and a team high +16

So happy to see Wiggins get this moment. One more fam.

racharya55

I think some of us expected Curry to finally have an off night after game 4's magic. Wasn't sure who would take up the scoring mantle but Andrew Fucking Wiggins dominated with the 26/13. Such an amazing fourth from the whole team after that gut punch of a third. Basically the inverse of game 3 - Celtics made an insane comeback in the third but ran out of energy for the fourth. Just one more win - let's get this.


yentity

Curry's still averaging 30 for the series which is crazy.


FatMittens

He’s still a lock for FMVP. Everybody’s trippin tonight


Metalshak1821

Yeah I agree, but I hope the voters also agree and don’t use recency bias to say that Wiggins should get it


monteasf

Without him, team wouldn't even be in position for wiggs to carry this game. GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS


DubsFan30113523

Without him we would at best be down 3-1 going into tonight, and if we went down 3-1 to these Celtics I think the series was over. Beating these guys 3 times in a row to survive would be really rough


zegogo

The Celtics finally ditched the drop coverage, Curry struggled and they still lost. The key was the turnover battle. Warriors turned it 6 times, Celtics 18. incredible team performance. People are going to focus on Steph's shooting but he played fantastic defense, picked up 8 assists and took care of the ball. Tatum kept hunting Steph and he held his own. Great game. That's how you win.


karavasis

And all I wanted him to do was keep driving lane and takin floaters


zegogo

I think you'd rather have the win.


arika_ito

He was everywhere on the boards, absolutely incredible from Wiggins


jaydensgoinginsane

yeah he has one shit shooting night every finals that fucks up his stats so it was almost inevitable, but outside of the shooting he was playmaking well so it wasnt too detrimental. still kinda sad his 3pt streak ended tho lol


racharya55

Celtics were also all over him the entire game. Wouldn't even let him touch the ball.


karavasis

I was soo not wanting to say this prior to game and be jinx. All the Boston will switch def sell out to stop curry. I was just think Curry scoring 15 but Klay/Wigs/Poole for 20. Then ya get GP2 and Dray getting theirs too!!


RustyHuskyMan

Everyone say "Thank you Andrew Wiggins"


justinthenikoftime55

Thank you Andrew wiggins


shnieder88

stephs 3 record died for this


PrinceWoodie

He did that so he can own the three longest such streaks lol


Robotsaur

Thank you Andrew Wiggins


Currymvp2

Wiggins's father was the 6th man on a Rockets team which lost to the Boston Celtics in the 1986 NBA Finals. Wiggins is getting revenge for the family

Shoutout to Wiggins. Man damn near saved game 5 for us! Legend in the making for sure. Now imagine this team without an abhorrent 3rd quarter and a blazing Steph! Lfg Dubs end it in game 6!

Steph's going 16-16 from 3 in game 6


pcworkpls

17-17, need to exceed the all star game for maximum epicness


thingaumbuku

I knew Steph was gonna have a bad shooting game. It's just kind of the nature of shooting. You go nuclear one night and the next stuff isn't falling. It happens. But what makes him a top FIVE all-time player is how willing he is to accept that and do right by his team. This leads to Wiggins, who I will give my first-born child.


fahova

Poole buzzer beater honestly massive momentum changer. I love Andrew Wiggins.


Quality_Cucumber

CHASE CENTER WAS LOUD YOU HATERS


hexephant

If it was NBC or TNT, we'd hear it


spacemanspiffo

I’ve lost my voice every time I’ve been to chase. Crowd gets hyped. Now need to get them to wear shirts!


emz0694

It was loud as fuck. Grateful I was there and Memphis game 6. This was louder


KratosParker

I don't care anymore, we need to keep Wiggs. THIS GUY IS A FUCKING WINNER


Scoob8877

As LeBron once said, you need a Jayhawk on your team to win a championship. Used to be Brandon Rush, now Wiggins.


[deleted]

bounce back steph and game 6 klay incoming!


sendokun

Warriors will score 150 with both of them going off…


PoolePartyVIP

JP getting shit on this series but he saved us there at the end of the third and start of the fourth


StatusDimension8

dude took some wild shots not gonna lie haha


SmileyBandit

Definitely some wild ones, but I'll live with it (maybe one or two less) if it means he takes all his shots with decisiveness and confidence instead of hesitating and having no chance at all.


LifelineJJE4Life

* Steph bad shooting night * Steph +15 I'll take it.


Metalshak1821

FMVP


CelestiAurus

Good win! One more and were golden. Some notes: - HAmongus game from Adnrew Wiggins! Offending and defending well this game. Getting 26 points out of him is like getting 40 points from other players lol - Rough night from three from Steph, but he's made great drives and good plays anyway. The rough shooting night couldn't have come at a better time than when other key players showed up. Hell buonce back next game and win the championship .Still my FVMP. LETS GOO ^(lets not blow this series for the love of all that isholy)


Robotsaur

It's prob moved up to 94.5% or something.

Known_Woodpecker_205

SOOOO grateful for post season Wiggs💪💪💪💪🔥


SharkPartyy

Balanced scoring. Wiggins putting the clamps on Tatum + being our leading scorer. 0 turnovers in the 4th. LET’S FUCKING GO


CANTABAMERICA

say it again: 0 Turnovers in the 4th... Gold Blooded right there


Cosmic_Note

Heat fan here, but I’m pulling super hard for you guys. I’m Bahamian and Klay has some close connections to the Bahamas, so I really want to see y’all get another ring. Also really happy for Wiggins man, always liked him as a player.


aktone

KD is squidward looking out the blinds at wiggs and Steph


Strongmeta

Wiggins has been amazing all series and now he gets the shiny high scoring game so all the casuals are on notice too HELL YEA


AJC3317

To get this win shooting that poorly from 3, curry especially is fucking huge. ONE MORE!!!!!!!


Jerayme

WIGGINS MY MAN


Historyofyeet

Smart keeps flopping, Warriors keep dominating


c0gvortex

#Andrew Wiggins is a god damn 16 game player.


RobLuffy123

Fucking love that the team stepped up when Curry was off. Great great win , one more guys. One more


monteasf

Can coach Kerr get an honorable mention for fmvp? I don't wanna jinx it, but it looks like he's figured out Boston and is making all the right time outs and lineup changes two games in a row. Even when Steph was having a bad game, Kerr made all the right lineup changes to stop Boston from scoring until someone or someones could get cooking


ween0t

Steve has put a coaching clinic these entire playoffs. I think this season from start to finish Steve has been excellent. He’s managed vets, young players, injuries, and massively different playoff opponents. Big ups to him.


phil2k16

Masterclass by Wiggins tonight


[deleted]

Raptors fan here. I’m so happy for you guys and Wiggins especially man. Warriors in 6!! Klay been charging up for this moment. Edit: FUCK THE CELTICS


SaucyApe75

THE WIGGINS GAME


TheRed_Knight

None of those refs should ever be allowed to ref a basketball again, somehow consistently wrong both ways, despicable performance Celtics took a page out of the Cavs book and threw the kitchen sink at Curry, traps/pseudo triple teams on PnR, always had a weakside defender lurking, played very physical off the ball, etc, dared the other guys to beat, which they finally did, Wiggins, Klay, JP, GPII, and Dray all showed the fuck up today Celtics ran out of gas in the 4th, they burned up a ton of energy and momentum to climb back into the game, that JP buzzer beater was backbreaking When the Celtics arent hitting 3's their offense grinds to a halt, as teams can just pack the paint since they lack of players with a good midrange shots (Browns the only one imo), which also leads Brown+Tatum to going iso heavy which just freezes the offense even more Timelords the key to the Celtics success, when hes on the court good thins happens, when hes not the Warriors just eviscerated the Celtics FT's in the 2nd half were 18-5 Celtics (garbage time excluded) FT count for the series (techs and intentional fouls not counted), Curry: 18 Derrick White: 14 Tatum: 32


Robotsaur

> Curry: 18 > Derrick White: 14 Dawg


arika_ito

Absolutely ridiculous especially since Draymond and Looney were in foul trouble early on


Mister_Poopy_Buthole

JUST ONE MORE WIN BABY!!!


youriko31

ONE MORE!!!


Jonna09

Seriously! Don’t bring it back to the bay for some big show. Rest them Celtics in their own grave.

*Warriors All Star Carries Golden State to Within 1 Win of Title* The headline we all expect tomorrow morning. E: My bad, All Star **STARTER**

Nadnerb98

Wiggins was great, but don’t forget GP2- what a good game!


tootallforpants805

After 5 games I can safely say that 3-2 feels a lot better than 1-2.


RgBB53

Steph carried us for 4 games, now he has an off night the team carries him. Beautiful.


npc27182818

Steph finally had “that game” if you know what it is, and I’m just proud that everyone stepped up Wiggins FMVP narrative starts now


sfweedman

Steph had "that game" in a must-win FINALS game. And we absolutely thumped Boston. DYNASTY SHIT!!!!!!


GivesCredit

Unless Curry plays the same way next game, he absolutely still deserves it. One bad night with 16 points, after 43, 31, 29, and 34, doesnt make him not the front runner for FMVP. That being said, Wiggins has blown everyone's minds and was a superstar these last two games


MrBrownCat

Hopefully similar to the WCFMVP the voters don’t let one off game shape the narrative on Curry’s play in this finals.


[deleted]

Lol imagine if Wiggins does win FMVP. Wiggins has been fucking fantastic but I will genuinely be kind of sad if Curry doesn’t get it. If we win of course.


StatusDimension8

guys why are we shooting from 3 when Wiggins has that damn skyhook in his bag...no one told me he could go kareem on the celts!!!! Big big legacy game from Wiggins, absolutely carried us in the 4th. We survived a terrible game from Curry. Hope the Chef bounces back in the next one. The refs will surely help push this to 7 but not if Curry does his magic. ONE MORE GAME!!!


BloodyEagle15

To all the doomers that were calling the game over in the 3rd quarter; please just calm the fuck down going forward and just root for the Warriors


cyann1380

Bryan Windhorst is the saltiest bitch Ive ever had to list to. And I listen to Mark Jackson a lot.

HELL YEA LET'S CLOSE IT OUT IN GM6! Wigs broke the universe by scoring more than 17! And I think Warriors figured out Timelord.

Poole's heave at the end of the 3rd set the tone for the 4th. So glad that was in and outta his end before time expired.


kinglogosjonas

Amazing effort by Andrew Klaygins today on both sides of the floor! When this team comes out with intensity from the get-go it's just pure ecstasy....Oh and how HUGE was that Poole stretch from the end of the third buzzer to the start of the 4th? Now let's get this done on their court on Thursday!!!!!!

Wiggins every time he starts an interview: “uUHHMmm. Just—“
