The Jayson Tatum-led Celtics own the best road record in this year's postseason (7-2) while the Stephen Curry-led Warriors are the only team yet to lose at home (9-0). The Celtics won all four matchups, including in 1960 and 1962 in the second and fourth seasons of their eight straight championships. Boston also beat the Warriors in the 1964 NBA Finals, a five-game series in which Wilt Chamberlain outscored rival Bill Russell 146-56 and outrebounded him 138-126 in defeat. The Massachusetts native became owner of the Warriors two years later and has since added three to his championship-ring collection, with Golden State claiming crowns in 2015, 2017 and 2018. They'll be up against a Celtics defence that ranks second in both categories (43.3 percent and 31.7 percent, respectively).
