[Golden State] Boston Celtics
Gutted out a fierce win in overtime vs. a Mavericks team that had a lot of punch left in it. Boston's defense came and went repeatedly, but it managed to wear out the younger Mavs. Boston needed this kind of win and it's proof that the strides they've made are legitimate.

Sometimes you win close games against good teams because they have a hot night. And sometimes you win close games against good teams because you have a hot night shooting. But sometimes you just out-execute the good team, and that's how the Warriors toppled the Heat. LeBron James was in fine form and made play after play, but couldn't nail the game winner.
