The Boston Celtics won Game 1 of the NBA Finals 120-108 Thursday night with a big fourth-quarter comeback over the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.

Boston went into the fourth quarter 12 points behind Golden State, but then outscored the Warriors 40-16 in the final quarter, the most lopsided fourth quarter in NBA Finals history.

Al Horford led the Celtics with 26 points and Jaylen Brown had 24, while Stephen Curry scored 34 points in a losing effort for Golden State. Game 2 is on Sunday, also in San Francisco.

 

An Offer Made To Buy Trail Blazers

Nike founder Phil Knight and Major League's Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Alan Smolinisky have made an offer of more than $2 billion to buy the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers, ESPN reported Thursday, citing sources as saying the two plan to remain aggressive in trying to acquire the team.

However, a Trail Blazers spokesman said in a statement, “An offer was made by Phil Knight. The team remains not for sale.”
