The Celtics were inflexible and stayed to an old principle that didn't work. The Warriors returned to what made them NBA champions.

In this battle of defensive schemes and coverages, the Warriors notched an important victory. This is the kind of defense that won these Warriors their fourth NBA title in eight years. If anything, this win proved that the Warriors still have the juice to contend for another championship. The team above them: the Warriors, who allow only 24.8% of their opponents’ shots to be taken within four feet of the rim — 10 percentage points better than league average, per Cleaning the Glass. Again, some of the shots he took were shots he’d normally make — but others were misses against stifling defense, especially whenever he tried to force things inside. Thompson manages to touch the paint against a drop that has more or less contained him — but Brown falls ever so slightly behind, which puts all the pressure on Griffin to navigate the middle ground. How will they account for the Celtics’ three-happy tendencies, one that has been the main driver of their league-best offense? Their excellence in the half court (107.8 offensive rating, 11.6 points better than league average) has been the main driver of their early season success. Klay Thompson — who finished with 34 points on 26 shots (63.2 TS%) — took it upon himself to be the Warriors’ resident mid-range merchant. In one corner were the Warriors, a team that finished just behind the Celtics in terms of points allowed per 100 possessions. Of course, the Warriors short-circuited such plans on their way to titles. Their 90.4 half-court defensive rating also led the league and was 5.2 points better than league average.
