Warriors level NBA finals as Poole’s halfcourt buzzer-beater polishes win over Celtics

• Boston Celtics 88-107 Golden State Warriors: as it happened
• Best-of-seven series level at 1-1 after one-sided victory
• Stephen Curry shines for Golden State with 29 points

Stephen Curry scored 29 points, Jordan Poole connected from just inside midcourt to cap a huge third-quarter run and the Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics 107-88 on Sunday night in Game 2 to even the NBA finals.

Poole finished with 17 points for the Warriors, who outscored Boston 35-14 in the third quarter to turn a two-point halftime lead into a 23-point edge. And when the Warriors then scored the first six points of the fourth, the Celtics waved the surrender flag and emptied their bench.
