The Golden State Warriors secured a significant victory against the defending-champion Boston Celtics with a 118-112 win on November 6, 2024. This game marked the Warriors' first encounter with an NBA elite team this season and demonstrated their resilience and capability to compete at the highest level.

The Warriors' bench, particularly Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson, and Jonathan Kuminga, contributed significantly, with the bench scoring 49 points in the game. Kevon Looney played a crucial role in the fourth quarter, helping to stave off the Celtics' comeback with key rebounds and points.
