The Celtics led the Warriors 94-90 with five minutes remaining in Game 4 but then got outscored 17-3 in crunch time.

We've got to do a better job executing down the stretch, and that's the difference in the game right there." And a lot of times, it felt like we were standing around, unsure of who we were trying to go after, and it led to those stalled out possessions." Just a little more locked in down the stretch." Discussing the reasons for Boston's offense stagnating, Ime Udoka expressed: "Every time we got a five, six-point lead, it felt like we made some poor decisions, whether it was rushed shots in traffic or standing around, looking at each other. Between inactivity and missing quality shots when they created them, they couldn't fend off or keep up with the Warriors as Curry scored ten of his game-high 43 points, leading his team to a series-tying win. It's the highest point differential in an NBA Finals game in the last 25 seasons, according to ESPN Stats&Info.

I think that’s kind of the beauty of it, that it’s not going to be easy. “But it’s the Finals. The art of competition, they came here feeling like they had to win. “I know I’m impacting the game in other ways, but I got to be more efficient, shoot the ball better, finish at the rim better.” “Whether it was rushed shots in traffic or … standing around and looking at each other a little bit there.” “They went on a run early on in the third. I got to be better,” Tatum said.

"It's just special to watch what he does," Thompson added. "I mean, this was nearly a must-win game," Thompson told reporters. But it wasn't just his remarkable efficiency in front of a raucous Boston crowd that made this performance special.

The Boston Celtics lamented the lack of ball movement down the stretch of Game 4 of the NBA Finals after losing 107-97 to the Golden State Warriors.

“If the ball gets stuck and you see it, go screen somebody. “Everybody just kind of standing around looking at whoever had the ball, no player movement, no ball movement.” “I think we just kind of got a little stagnant,” Celtics’ guard Derrick White – who had 16 points on 4-12 shooting – said after the game.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum has averaged only 22 points and shot 34% in two losses to the Warriors. 'I just got to be better,' he said after a Game 4 loss.

“It’s kind of on me to do that more often than not just to help my team in the best way that I can,” he said. I think just quick decisions, don’t turn down any open looks, any daylight that I have, just continue to try to make the right pass.” In their two losses those numbers drop to 22 points per game and 34% from the field. “I just got to be better,” Tatum said after Golden State’s 107-97 win in Game 4 Friday night to tie the best-of-seven series. We’ve just got to move,” he said. It hurt most after the Celtics took a 94-90 lead, only to miss six consecutive shots during a 10-0 Warriors run.
