Boston (United States) (AFP) – With 43 points and ten rebounds from a titanic Stephen Curry. The Golden State beat the Boston Celtics 107-97 on Friday and tied 2-2 in the NBA Finals.
Curry, 48 hours after finishing injured in Game 3, put on the backs of a Warriors who came close to conceding a 3-1 deficit, which has only been traced once in the history of the Finals.
"We knew how important this game was. I thank God we avoided a major injury and got to play," Curry said after the tensest an
d the fast-paced game of the series so far.
At 34 years old, the point guard starred in one of the be
st performances of an exceptional career in which he has played another five Finals and won three rings, but he was never recognized with the MVP (Most Valuable Player) award.
But in these Finals, no one can overshadow Curry, who is averaging 34.3 points per game, and this Friday, he saw that the Warriors regained home-court advantage before hosting Game 5 on Monday.
Hometown star Jayson Tatum scored 23 points and shooting guard Jaylen Brown another 21 for the Celtics, who led into the final four minutes with the support of their 19,000 passionate TD Garden fans.
The exceptional talent of Curry, who lifted his team over and over again with seven decisive triples, and several critical actions by Draymond Green, who redeemed him from another disappointing performance, slowed down the Celtics' path to their coveted 18th ring, which the would become the winningest franchise in history.
