Report: Warriors-Celtics rematches set for December, January originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Marquee games on the 2022-23 NBA schedule are trickling out ahead of the reported full release on Wednesdayand we now know when the Boston Celtics will face the Golden State Warriors during the upcoming season.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported Monday night, citing sources, that the Celtics and Warriors will play on Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Chase Center in San Francisco and then meet again on Thursday, Jan. 19 at TD Garden in Boston.
With both teams largely bringing back the same rosters as the ones that met in the 2022 NBA Finals, both games should be epic rematches of the six-game series won by the Warriors.
The tension from the heated series spilled over into the offseason, with Celtics forward Grant Williams confidently saying Boston was the better team in the Finals even though the Warriors won the final three games, including two on the road. Williams then traded barbs with Steph Curry, who roasted the big man while hosting the ESPY awards show in July.
Now the two teams will get to rekindle the rivalry early in the upcoming season.
The rest of the NBA schedule is slated to be released by the league on Wednesday.
