The Golden State Warriors (-4) face the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of the 2022 NBA Finals after Boston's comeback victory in Game 1.

Warriors Performance

• Stephen Curry started hot with 21 first-quarter points but cooled off
• Andrew Wiggins contributed 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting
• Draymond Green struggled with 4 points on 2-of-12 shooting and defensive lapses
• Klay Thompson added 15 points in his Finals return
• Jordan Poole managed just 9 points off the bench

Celtics Performance

• Al Horford led with 26 points and 6 three-pointers in his Finals debut
• Jayson Tatum shot poorly (12 points, 3-of-17) but dished 13 assists
• Jaylen Brown scored 24 points with 7 rebounds and 5 assists
• Derrick White provided 21 points off the bench
• Marcus Smart contributed 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists

Game 2 Prediction The Warriors controlled most of Game 1 before the Celtics' late surge. Boston's unlikely hot shooting from role players isn't sustainable. Expect Golden State to make adjustments and cover the 4-point spread in Game 2.
