Celtics 120, Warriors 108 – Celtics have huge 4th,  beat Warriors in Game 1 of NBA Finals

  Jaylen Brown fueled a comeback charge and scored 24  points, Al Horford hit six 3-pointers and the Boston Celtics rode the most  lopsided fourth quarter in NBA Finals history to a 120-108 victory over the  Golden State Warriors in Game 1. Horford finished with 26 points and the  Celtics outscored the Warriors 40-16 in the final 12 minutes after trailing by  15 points late in the third quarter. Boston made its first seven tries from  long distance in the fourth and wound up 9 of 12 beyond the arc over the final  12 minutes as almost everybody got involved in the 3-point flurry.

NBA – Silver says NBA likes ‘parity of opportunity’  for its teams

  Over the last three seasons, six franchises have  reached the NBA Finals. The league has seen five Eastern Conference champions  in the last five seasons. This will be the fourth consecutive year that the  team which hoists the trophy won’t be the same as the one who did the year before.  Adam Silver likes all these numbers. The NBA Commissioner, in his annual  pre-NBA Finals address Thursday night held just before Game 1 of the series  between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics, repeated his familiar  refrain that he doesn’t care who wins. But he also sees the value in some  unpredictability from one year to the next as far as which teams make it to the  title round.

  One month after officials decided that the DeltaPlex  Arena will close, the Grand Rapids Gold of the NBA G-League have had to search  for a new home venue.  The team will move  to the downtown Van Andel Arena starting this upcoming season.  Van Andel Arena is the 4th largest  arena in the state of Michigan and is currently the home of the American Hockey  League’s Grand Rapids Griffins, who are the Detroit Red Wings primary  affiliate.  Van Andel Arena holds just  under 11,000 for hockey, and 11, 500 for basketball.  The Gold, who are the affiliated of the NBA’s  Denver Nuggets, won’t be the first professional basketball team to call Van  Andel Arena home, the Grand Rapids Hoops of the now defunct CBA played there  from 1996-2001.  The 2001 Big Ten Women’s  Basketball tournament was also held at Van Andel Arena.
