The Boston Celtics set a number of records and milestones in their Game 1 won over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, a quite impressive comeback win that more than matched a blistering onslaught from Golden State superstar guard Steph Curry in the game’s first quarter and another brisk assault in the tilt’s penultimate frame.
Some of it came from the fact that every single player on the Celtics’ roster happen to be making their NBA Finals debut and several did so in remarkable fashion. Others were simply a product of excellence in the moment, but all things being equal, Boston left their mark in the history books with the win.
Let’s take a look at the benchmarks made and records set in Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals.
Jayson Tatum had an off-shooting night, but made up for it with record-setting dimes
And his teammates picked up the slack late to secure the win
It was quite the debut Finals performance from several Celtics
Particularly from beyond the arc
And ‘new dad’ energy might have played a role as well
Did we mention 3-point shooting was key?
