Draymond Green’s night: 0 points, 0 for 7 from the field, 0 for 5 from three, minus-28. His presence on the floor without any offensive threat collapsed Golden State’s spacing entirely. Gary Payton II was the Warriors’ most efficient contributor at 75% shooting, but 14 points from your best performer is not a winning formula.

Boston dominated in nearly every efficiency category. The Warriors took 15 more threes than the Celtics but connected at a much lower rate. Quality over quantity was the Celtics’ approach, and it showed in the final score.
Game Flow: How This One Unfolded
Boston came out locked in. They led 36-32 after the first, competitive enough. Then the second quarter swung everything.
The Celtics dropped 38 in the second frame against Golden State’s 19. That is not just a bad quarter from the Warriors. That is Boston operating at a level of passing efficiency that very few teams can match. They racked up 36 assists on 49 made field goals over the full game, which is borderline elite ball movement.
By the fourth, Mazzulla was already running his deep bench rotation. Golden State’s 37-point final frame came entirely against Boston’s B lineup. It inflated the scoreline but changed nothing about what actually happened.
For side-by-side player performance tracking across NBA matchups this season, matchvsplayerstats.com breaks down the numbers worth following.
Payton Pritchard Breaks Down the Game
26 points. 10 of 18 from the field. 6 threes on 11 attempts (54.5%). 7 assists. Zero turnovers. A true shooting percentage of 72.2%.
This was one of Pritchard’s sharpest performances of the season, and he picked the right stage to deliver it. What stood out was not just the point total but the discipline. He did not force a single shot. He hit pull-up threes, worked the mid-range off ball screens, and ran the offense without carelessness. Seven assists with zero turnovers from your primary ball-handler in a road win is exactly what you need when building a contender.
Jaylen Brown’s Triple Double Night
23 points. 15 rebounds. 13 assists. A certified triple double, and his numbers across all three categories were legitimate, not inflated by garbage time.
His paint finishing was elite. Brown converted 10 of 14 attempts at the rim (71.4%) and drew 5 fouls, finishing a perfect 3 for 3 from the line. His defensive rebounding percentage of 37.3% is a stat line you normally associate with centers and power forwards, not wings. His +11 plus/minus confirms he was present for the moments that actually mattered.
This was the Jaylen Brown that drives Boston’s ceiling as a genuine championship team.
Sam Hauser Drops a Three-Point Clinic
Nobody in this building shot the three better than Sam Hauser on this night. Four of five from deep (80%). Effective field goal percentage of 80.0%. True shooting of 80.0%.
His +22 plus/minus was the top number on either roster, meaning the Celtics outscored Golden State by 22 points during his minutes. That is the impact of a shooter who forces defenses to choose: guard the corner or help on drives. The Warriors never found a good answer, and Brown and Pritchard punished them for it every time they collapsed.
What Went Wrong for the Warriors
Three things cost Golden State on their own home floor:
Shot selection versus efficiency. The Warriors attempted 55 threes at 36.4%. Boston took 40 at 42.5%. More volume, less accuracy, and a 15-attempt premium for worse results. When you are already down by 30, forcing threes off the catch instead of attacking the basket does not fix your problems.
Draymond Green’s offensive absence. Zero points. Zero for seven. Minus-28. Without a credible offensive threat at center, Golden State’s spacing completely collapsed and Boston’s help defenders had no one to respect. The Celtics could load the paint and still rotate back without consequence.
Free throw shooting. The Warriors made just 4 of 8 from the line (50%). Boston hit 6 of 7 (85.7%). In the first half when the game was still relatively close, those missed free throws were real, live points left on the floor.
Shooting Efficiency Breakdown
| Player | Team | TS% | eFG% | PTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gary Payton II | GSW | 87.5% | 87.5% | 14 |
| Sam Hauser | BOS | 80.0% | 80.0% | 16 |
| Payton Pritchard | BOS | 72.2% | 72.2% | 26 |
| Hugo Gonzalez | BOS | 70.0% | 70.0% | 7 |
| Brandin Podziemski | GSW | 68.8% | 68.8% | 11 |
| Neemias Queta | BOS | 65.4% | 66.7% | 9 |
| Gui Santos | GSW | 60.7% | 60.7% | 17 |
| Jaylen Brown | BOS | 59.5% | 55.6% | 23 |
| Moses Moody | GSW | 55.7% | 61.1% | 11 |
| Derrick White | BOS | 36.0% | 30.8% | 10 |
| Draymond Green | GSW | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0 |
Gary Payton II was actually the most efficient player on the court that night. But 14 points at 87.5% true shooting from a backup guard is not the kind of production that changes game outcomes. Boston had four players at 59.5% or higher, with three of them playing heavy rotation minutes.
Boston’s Paint Dominance
This one deserves its own section. Boston scored 58 points in the paint versus the Warriors’ 44 in a game that is often assumed to favor Golden State’s perimeter-heavy system.
The Celtics finished at a 79.3% clip at the rim (23 of 29 attempts). That is near-perfect finishing in traffic and it directly reflects two things: Jaylen Brown’s ability to get to the basket and convert, and Golden State’s failure to protect the paint without a mobile interior presence.
Neemias Queta was Boston’s key piece in this area off the bench. He finished at 66.7% with all his baskets coming in the paint and added 2 steals for good measure.
Final Takeaways
Boston Celtics
- Won the field goal percentage battle convincingly (51.6% vs 44.8%)
- Jaylen Brown’s triple double (23/15/13) was a rare and dominant all-around performance
- Payton Pritchard’s 26 points and 6 threes set the offensive tone on the road
- Second quarter (38 to 19) was the decisive run
- 58 paint points showed this was not just a three-point dependent night
- Sam Hauser’s +22 with 80% three-point shooting was the best unit performance in the game
Golden State Warriors
- Draymond Green going 0 for 7 with minus-28 destroyed their offensive spacing
- 55 three-point attempts at 36.4% is volume without efficiency
- Free throws at 50% left points on the board when it mattered
- Bench scored 59 points but almost entirely in a fourth quarter that meant nothing
- Gary Payton II played well, but 14 points from your most efficient player does not move the needle
Wrap Up
The Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors match player stats from February 19, 2026 tell one clean story. Boston was more efficient, better connected, and more complete from start to finish.
Payton Pritchard’s 26-point road performance, Jaylen Brown’s triple double, and Sam Hauser’s near-perfect shooting from three gave the Celtics three genuine difference makers in a single game. That kind of distributed, high-quality production is what championship basketball actually looks like when it is working.
Golden State has real problems to solve. A starting center going 0 for 7 with a minus-28 is not sustainable regardless of defensive reputation. The Warriors need answers in the paint and a rethought approach to shot selection if they want to compete at the level this game demanded.
Final: Boston Celtics 121, Golden State Warriors 110.
