Through 3 Quarters

Down five at the end of last quarter, the Golden State Warriors have now snagged the lead. It's anybody's game after three quarters, but the Warriors are ahead of the Boston Celtics 79-78.

Point guard Stephen Curry has taken over for Golden State, currently boasting 33 points (42% of their total) along with six rebounds. Boston has been relying on center Robert Williams III, who has seven points in addition to 12 boards and two blocks, and point guard Marcus Smart, who has 14 points and five assists in addition to four rebounds.

Boston hasn't lost 76% of the games in which they were down heading into the final period this season, so a win here would be refreshing.

What to Know

The Boston Celtics have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Golden State Warriors at 9 p.m. ET June 10 at TD Garden. Boston will be strutting in after a victory while Golden State will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Celtics are hoping for another win. They had enough points to win and then some against the Warriors on Wednesday, taking their game 116-100. Boston's shooting guard Jaylen Brown was one of the most active players for the team, picking up 27 points and five assists along with nine boards.

Boston is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Detroit Pistons Feb. 16 easily too and instead slipped up with a 112-111. In other words, don't count Golden State out just yet.
