Record-Breaking Performance

The Celtics’ dominance was evident from the beginning as Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum led the charge, dismantling the Warriors early in the first half.

By halftime, the hosts had built a staggering 44-point lead, marking the largest halftime lead in franchise history, as reported by ESPN.

Unstoppable Force

The Celtics continued their onslaught in the third quarter, stretching their lead to an astonishing 51 points before eventually resting their starters.

The absence of Stephen Curry in the second half further compounded the Warriors’ woes, with the star player managing just four points in a challenging game.

Despite the one-sided nature of the game, Burna Boy, who has previously expressed his love for basketball and dreamt of playing in the NBA, enjoyed the courtside experience.

Connection to the NBA

His love for basketball and connection to the NBA further solidify his status as a global star with a passion for the sport.
