The Golden State Warriors fell 88-92 to the Boston Celtics on Thursday at TD Garden. Here are the three best plays from that night.
The Golden State Warriors concluded their seven-game win streak on Thursday at TD Garden, losing 88-92 to Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics. Despite the loss, the Warriors can still be found at the very top of the Western Conference, tied with James Harden and the 11-4 Houston Rockets.
While the loss was certainly unfortunate, the reigning NBA champions are still the most watchable and entertaining show on the planet, so they still featured a couple of highlight plays worth remembering.
Golden State didn’t showcase much of the long range shooting to which most fans have become accustomed. Other than Klay Thompson‘s three-pointer that pushed the Warriors lead to 88-86 with a 1:21 left in the fourth, no Warriors three-pointer really held much significance, and Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant were off from deep all night.
Instead, the Dubs had a number of highflying dunks and slick dimes to open cutters that were incredibly fun to watch. Let’s take a look at the top three plays from Thursday night — all of which come courtesy of Golden State’s veteran swingman, Andre Iguodala.
