Just like that, the Warriors were up 10 within a minute of the second quarter. They were very active defensively and forced Jayson Tatum and crew to take some ill-advised shots. Jordan Poole was just swimming in confidence and was hitting everything. At one point, he had 11 points in seven minutes. Golden State was on point the remainder of the quarter, causing havoc for the Celtics and went into break with a 54-39.
