NBA Finals: Steph Curry delivers Game 4 masterclass as Golden State Warriors beat Boston Celtics to tie series at 2-2
- Curry produces one of the best performances of his glittering career to reignite Golden State’s hopes of a seventh championship
- The 34-year-old finishes with 43 points and 10 rebounds as Warriors fight back with crucial 107-97 victory in Boston
Stephen Curry produced a dazzling 43-point display as the Golden State Warriors battled past the Boston Celtics 107-97 to level the NBA Finals series at 2-2 on Friday.
With the Warriors needing a victory at Boston’s TD Garden to avoid going down 3-1 in the best-of-seven series, Curry delivered one of the best performances of his glittering career to reignite Golden State’s hopes of a seventh championship.
Curry had entered Game 4 with concerns swirling over his fitness after suffering a knock to his foot in the Warriors Game 3 defeat on Wednesday.
But the 34-year-old two-time NBA Most Valuable Player emphatically laid to rest any doubts about his fitness as he single-handedly hauled Golden State back into the finals with Game 5 back in San Francisco on Monday.
Curry finished with 43 points, 10 rebounds and four assists on a night when Golden State again struggled to find their offensive rhythm for long periods against a powerful Boston line-up.
Klay Thompson added 18 points for the Warriors while Andrew Wiggins produced 17 points and 16 rebounds in a crucial contribution. Jordan Poole added 14 from the bench.
“A lot of pride in our group, a lot of talk over the last 48 hours about how we can get back into this series,” said Curry.
