The Golden State Warriors have taken the lead for the first time in the 2022 NBA finals against Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. The Celtics now find themselves 3-2 down after game-5 at the Chase Center. The home fans were treated to a win. It was a tough loss to take for the Celtics. Tatum was the player with the most points for either side, but ended up on the losing side.

The Celtics fell short, mainly because of the number of turnovers they had in the game. The missed chances them the game more than anything else.?

The Warriors capitalized on the missed chances and lost possession from the Celtics and surged through to a victory that could have been much tougher than it was in the end.

Although Stephen Curry missed the mark, the Warriors came through. Steph had a rather poor game by his standards and form. However, it was the Warriors’ mentality that earned them the win. Steph only scored 16 points. But it was Andrew Wiggins? turn to shine the brightest in the hour of need.

Another player who played his worth was Klay Thompson. He brought back his scoring form at the right time for the Dubs. Wiggins scored 27 and Klay scored 21 as the duo guided their team to a 104-94 win.

Jayson Tatum must feel hard done by. The reactions, even after a 28-point performance, must have been disappointing. But that?s what happens when you end up on the losing side. Steph failed to score even a single three-pointer in game 5 which is a rare, once in a blue moon occurrence for him.

But that kind of went under the radar mainly because his team still won. Had they not, Steph would have gotten just as much criticism as the praise he had received in the last few games.?
