After Action Report
In a track meet, the Warriors knocked off the Celtics 125-123 in overtime. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Warriors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
