After a heartbreaking loss in the third game of the NBA finals, the Golden State Warriors led by their superstar Steph Curry defeated the Boston Celtics. The Dubs Nation took Boston’s home-court advantage as Chef Curry carved up a scintillating 43-point performance. Similarly, other Golden State players also turned up as they registered a 107-97 win to level the series 2-2.
Steph Curry also scored his 43 points extremely efficiently as he had shooting splits of 14-26 from the field and 7-14 from the deep. The two-time MVP looked extremely confident from the get-go as he was hitting heavily contested shots with ease. Similarly, after draining one such three-pointer in the early portion of the game, Steph Curry trash-talked directly at the Celtics bench and screamed at the ardent Boston crowd.
The things he does, we kind of take for granted at times: Thompson
In the post-game media availability, Steph Curry’s teammates praised his incredible performance in a crucial game. “The heart on that man is incredible,” Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. “The things he does, we kind of take for granted at times, to go out there and put us on his back. We’ve got to help him out on Monday.”
He wasn’t letting us lose: Green
Similarly, GSW forward Draymond Green explained his approach over the last few days before the game. He said, “He wasn’t letting us lose. That’s all it boils down to. I could tell in his demeanor, last couple of days, even after Game 3 that he was going to come out with that kind of fire.”
