In a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals, the Boston Celtics delivered a commanding performance against the Golden State Warriors, securing a 125-85 victory at Chase Center in San Francisco. The outcome was a disappointment for the home crowd, especially as the Warriors were missing key player Draymond Green, sidelined due to a calf injury sustained in a previous game against the Washington Wizards. This loss not only marked one of the worst defeats in Warriors' history but also represented the largest home loss under head coach Steve Kerr.

The game witnessed the Warriors' lowest scoring output at home with Stephen Curry on the court since Kerr took over as head coach. Curry finished with 18 points, along with three rebounds, four assists, and two steals, while shooting 4-of-12 from three-point range. Moses Moody contributed further with 13 points, six rebounds, and five assists off the bench. Following the heavy defeat, Coach Kerr expressed the need for the team to quickly move on and prepare for their next match against the Sacramento Kings, describing some of their recent blowout losses as 'demoralizing.'

On the opposing side, Jayson Tatum stood out with a solid performance, recording 22 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. This victory improved the Celtics' record to 30-13, in contrast to the Warriors' 21-21 record, which ended their two-game winning streak. Jaylen Brown added 17 points, while Kristaps Porzingis contributed 18 points and seven rebounds. The game prompted fans to express their dissatisfaction and concerns regarding the Warriors' future, emphasizing the wide margin of defeat.
