Jaylen Brown (21), Marcus Smart (18), and Derrick White (16) finished in double-figures for Boston. 

The Celtics led at halftime, 54-49, but the Warriors took control in the second half, outscoring Boston 58-43 in the second half. 

With the Warriors trailing 94-92 with five minutes to go, Thompson hit a 3-pointer to put Golden State ahead for good. The Warriors would outscore the Celtics 12-3 over the final 4:26 of Game 4.
