The Golden State Warriors are close to the championship ring of this NBA season, after getting an excellent victory in game 5 of the series with a score of 104-94, against the Boston Celtics with a Steph Curry off, but with Andrew Wiggins playing a spectacular game.
This has been the most complicated night for Steph Curry so far this season and, although he scored 16 points, being this a low amount for a figure of such magnitude, he had a terrible night from his forte, the three-point line, where he finished with a 0-9. But, to the Warriors’ rescue came Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson, who scored 26 and 21 points respectively to put San Francisco’s third win on track.
Wiggins, who had already shined in Game 4, and who is being along with Curry the most reliable piece of the Warriors in these playoffs (something unthinkable at another time in his career).
On the Celtics’ side, their star player Jaylen Brown was also off for most of the game, scoring only 18 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. While Jayson Tatum had to carry his team’s offense scoring 27 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Another player who made his presence felt was Marcus Smart who, with 20 points, helped his team to get closer to the scoreboard.

The game did not start in the best way for Boston, the Warriors played practically perfect, solid, and impenetrable defense, while the ball mobility was spectacular, they did not abuse the shots, and they were playing a collective game. Thanks to this great approach, the Warriors stepped up and took a 27-16 partial victory.
In the second quarter, the Warriors tried to play the same approach, but the Celtics were able to overcome that torrid defense, and, although they did not reduce the lead on the scoreboard, they managed to end the quarter with a 23-24 partial, to go to the break with a score of 51-39.
Something that had not happened in the previous games, happened in this fifth game of the series. The Celtics fought the Warriors in the third quarter of the game, managed to completely neutralize Steph Curry, and, with a huge Jayson Tatum playing at his best, managed to take the 35-24 partial victory, to put the game by only 1 point.
Wiggins had not yet said his last word, he would later be decisive in neutralizing the visiting team at the beginning of the last quarter. It took less than four minutes for the Warriors to go back up by 11 points. And there was no turning back.
With Wiggins leading the team, the Warriors were able to finish the last quarter with a 9-point lead to give them the victory in this fifth game of the series with a score of 104-94.
Now the series moves back to the TD Garden, where the Celtics will try to neutralize the Warriors to prevent them from winning the championship at home and force a seventh game of the series.
