The NBA got its wish — a Finals series now tied and a potentially long battle in the offing.
Warriors superstar Stephen Curry put on a third-quarter long-distance fireworks show until the new man on the block, Jordan Poole, tried to top it with his own 3-point party.
Poole’s bomb measured at 38 feet. Curry’s face lit up. He hugged Poole like they had just won another title. That’s three wins away, as they actually go to Boston having lost their home-court advantage. The toughest job as Warriors head coach for Steve Kerr over the years, his friends say, is keeping a poker-face when Green acts out. Sunday, Green picked up a technical for shoving Grant Williams after the whistle in the first period.
“No I wasn’t surprised there was a double technical called due to the circumstances.’’ Boston coach Ime Udoka said wryly afterward.During the third quarter onslaught, Udoka said his piece. After two straight non-calls on consecutive possessions when Green and Kevon Looney got away with obvious fouls, Udoka pulled down his mask and let loose with a stream of invectives at the officials, drawing his own technical.
Green was spared, but that won’t always be the case the rest of June. Green’s temper needs to be in check in Boston. He was a terrific, energizer on defense. In addition to notching seven assists, he held Al Horford to just two points after he was the Game 1 hero with 26.
