The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics have tipped off in Oakland in a battle between the reigning champs and the previously-anointed Eastern Conference favorites. While the Warriors are living up to the billing, the Celtics have been not only underwhelming and inconsistent – they’ve been fractured and at times abhorrent. This is their best opportunity to right the ship.
Here’s how you can stream the match and what to know:
Celtics at Warriors
Date: Tuesday, Mar. 5
Time: 10:30 PM ET
Location: Oracle Arena, Oakland, California
TV Channel: TNT
Celtics: The Celtics start a long Western Conference road trip, which might just be what this team needs: many days of travel where the players can’t escape each other’s presence for too long and improving the chemistry is the only alternative. The loss to the Houston Rockets at home on Sunday was another painful reminder that what started as a very promising season for a very talented team could end in disaster for Boston, so Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and the rest of this stacked roster will be looking for a big win at Oracle to start a positive run of results and attitude that could lead them down a path of title contention.
Warriors: For the champions, this is also a big game. Facing one of the top teams in the league always gives the Warriors a reason to play their best basketball during the regular season, and Kyrie Irving always brings the best out of Steph Curry. Kevin Durant is quietly having another spectacular season, and his performance in Philadelphia was the main reason for Golden State’s awesome win over the Sixers. But injuries are piling up, and Steve Kerr will have to find a way to gameplan for this one without Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Kevon Looney and Alfonzo McKinnie, all expected to miss this one due to injury.
