The Boston Celtics still trying to turn that corner moving from the Atlantic Basement to the Atlantic Main Floor led 65-49 at the break on the visiting Golden State Warriors. Newly-acquired Celts PG Isaiah Thomas led with 15 points as Warriors All-Star PG Steph Curry led with 19 points.

The C's were up 56-30 at one point in the 2nd frame as the Warriors closed that frame on a 19-9 run getting to a more manageable 16 point deficit with two frames to play.  The Celts still held their own through three leading 85-76 but that 16-point lead was now down to 9 points with Golden State trying to turn the new Boston Garden into Warriors Ground on Planet Oracle.

It was G.S.W. right out the gate in the 4th methodically taking apart the C's as the game was tied 94-94 right under the four minute mark. That run was led by two Draymond Green money balls and a Curry money ball. With the C's right there it was a Harrison Barnes lay-up making it 100-99 Warriors that sealed the game as Dubs closes on a 6-2 run behind some Curry free throws for a 106-101 Warriors win!

Chef Curry stirring it up on a Sunday had a game-high 37 points going 5 for 8 from deep. Klay Thompson added 20 points with Barnes (17 pts 8 rebs) and Green (14 pts 11 rebs) filling up the stat sheet.

The Celts had all five starters in double figures and was led by Thomas' 20 points off the bench. UNC's Tyler Zeller added 17 points with LSU's Brandon Bass chipping in with 15 points and a dozen boards. It was simply the Youth Movement for the C's vs the best W-L in the Logo for 2014-15 and in the end all green arrows pointed towards Dubs All Day!

G.S.W. moves to 46-11 while the Green Team falls to 23-34...
