The Golden State Warriors team store at Chase Center received a shipment of the hard to find "We Believe" edition made by Under Armour.
"I know it may sound arrogant, but when you play for the Celtics, the expectation is to win a championship," said Boston's Al Horford, who led the Celtics 26 points in Game 1 on Thursday night and turned 36 on Friday."Even when I got here in '16, that was the expectation even then. That's what it is in the organization. We don't have to talk about it. We don't even talk about it at this point. We're just taking it a game at a time.
The Warriors led by 15 points late in the third quarter of Game 1, then trailed by 15 points in the final moments. It was only the second finals game in the last 25 years where both teams held leads of at least 15 points - the other being Game 5 of the 2014 finals between San Antonio and Miami. The Warriors are facing a 1-0 deficit for only the third time in Kerr's eight seasons as coach. They recovered to win the 2016 Western Conference finals over Oklahoma City, then lost the 2019 NBA Finals to Toronto.The Warriors are 7-3 in home games that follow a home loss this season, including wins by 15, 21 and 31 points.Game 1 was just the 10th instance of Boston's All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum taking at least 10 shots in a game and shooting 20% or less.
