The Boston Celtics came away with a huge comeback win on the road in game 1 of the NBA finals. They shocked the Golden State Warriors and are now in the driving seat for the rest of the series. Jaylen Brown ignited a massive comeback in the fourth quarter of the game.

NFL legend and current FOX Sports Analyst Shannon Sharpe celebrated the Celtics’ victory in style. To start the show UNDISPUTED, he chugged in Mountain Dew which he won from a bet with Skip Bayless. It’s almost common for Shannon and Skip Bayless to wager on Mountain Dew during big games.

The Boston Celtics outscored the Golden State Warriors by 40-16 in the 4th quarter of the game. It was a big meltdown. As a result, the Warriors need to win the next game at any cost. If they go 0-2 in the series, and with the next two games yet to be played in Boston, things could get over pretty quickly.
