Al Horford scored 26 points hitting six 3-pointers, Jaylen Brown added 24 points, and the Boston Celtics rode the most lopsided fourth quarter in NBA Finals history to a 120-108 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 on Thursday night. Steph Curry led the Warriors with 34 points. Game 2 is Sunday night back at Chase Center.

After a solid win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 1, the Boston Celtics star guard Marcus Smart (18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals) shared his thoughts on his fellow teammate Al Horford’s performance: “Don’t nobody deserve to be here more than him … he’s been that catalyst for us this whole year.”
