NBA FINALS Game 1: Celtics 120, Warriors 108

Jaylen Brown warmed up in the second half, and ended up scoring 24 points en route to the Game 1 victory.

When the Celtics (and Jayson Tatum) needed it, Jaylen Brown stepped up. You saw what happened next.

Ime Udoka and Al Horford (who had a career night of his own) both said it after the game — it was Brown who made the difference in Game 1, and now the Celtics are riding high.

Jayson Tatum (center) and Marcus Smart were able to celebrate a Game 1 Celtics victory, to the dismay of Stephen Curry and the Warriors.
