123-107, the Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics in a rematch of this summer’s NBA Finals. After making some notable additions this offseason, the Celtics are off to a great start. But it was the 13-13 Dubs who won at home.
In the absence of Andrew Wiggins, Steve Kerr chose Jordan Poole to start, sliding Klay Thompson to three. Despite Poole being the Dubs’ sixth man, many wanted Kerr to give Jonathan Kuminga the chance because of his superior size and defensive ability. The starting lineup’s defense would be tested against Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
