The Boston Celtics struck first in the NBA Finals in stunning fashion.<\/p>\n
Behind a huge fourth-quarter rally, the Celtics came back to defeat the Golden State Warriors 120-108 in Game 1 on the road in San Francisco. After Golden State used a third-quarter surge to take a double-digit lead, Boston stormed back in the fourth to win and steal homecourt advantage.<\/p>\n
