In the best game of the series so far, the Warriors guard gave one of the most unique interpretations of his brilliant, historic career. He scored 43 points and 10 rebounds for a great double-double, accompanied by four assists in a great performance, to decide on an exciting seesaw game at TD Garden. The only time the lead reached double digits was at the end of the match, with the lead changing hands about twelve times as the Warriors won 107-97 against the Celtics. The crucial thing was that Boston stopped – scoring just one goal in 6 minutes – before Al Horford threw a big three-pointer with 90 seconds left to play a three-point game. In the end, though, the Dubs did it. The Warriors had various aspects that they wanted to improve with their entry and marked each box. The rebounds improved, the three-point shots improved and they got more input from the players they needed. Andrew Wiggins dropped the most boards of his career, 16 of them, to go with 17 points. Clay Thompson finished with 18 points and improved defensive performance and Jordan Poole scored 14 points off the bench, including a double-digit first half that included some great games to keep the Warriors in touch when the Celtics threatened to create. . For the hosts, Jason Tatum had 23 points and 11 rebounds and Jalen Brown had 21 points and was playing impressively before drying up later in the game. But Boston, despite the big games from this pair and Robert Williams III at the defensive end, did not have enough. Steve Kerr also deserves huge praise. The Celtics were +40 in the fourth quarter in the first three games of the series, but the Warriors coach made a huge appeal to remove Draymond Green with just over seven and a half minutes for the last quarter of the game. 4. It worked as the Warriors fought from behind to take the lead and never gave up. When Green got back into action, though he still did not play his best, the six-time NBA Finals veteran made two key games on the clutch to bring victory after the bucket from Horford which reduced it to a possession game. . Initially, he grabbed a huge rebound for an extra offensive possession after a foul and then gave a clever assist to Kevon Looney to help freeze the game. Summary of the DNA of the championship. Kerr also made a big call before the briefing, choosing to start Otto Porter Jr instead of Kevon Looney. It gave the Celtics a different problem to deal with – although when Marcus Smart climbed the strip relentlessly to achieve an easy layup for the first basket of the game, it looked like he might be boomeranging.

He also got a coach after the referees failed to call a trip to Payton Pritchard, which he was certainly right about, before the young Celtics guard shot one of the two on the line. At half time there was a noticeable large deviation in long-range shots. Boston scored 8 of 14 and Golden State 7 of 25. However, they were just five points behind. At the beginning of the third, Carrie shot a shot from the wing and then Thompson with a three-pointer to equalize. This could trigger another big third quarter for the Warriors, but it was a high-speed, high-speed, stop-start swing game. The Celtics seemed more restrained in speed and pace, especially in the first half, but were prone to upset. It turned out to be part of their cancellation, but even more, a third quarter of 14 points for Carrie – who thought he should have been more free-kick in two three-pointers where he could certainly have gone on the line – helped change the momentum. That, catching rebounds when needed and the bold calls from the coach, made the difference for the Warriors, beyond the obvious. Ultimately, this victory was about Carrie. Of course he made more records. Curry became the first player to score five or more three-pointers in four consecutive NBA Finals.

He also joined the elite company of Jerry West and Magic Johnson as the only point guard to record an NBA Finals game with 40 points and 10 rebounds. Keep in mind that Curry did it all, entering the game with an injury after the Celtics big man, Horford, landed on his leg late in Game 3. The headlines will be for him and rightly so. The two-time MVP of the league is chasing his first MVP award of the NBA Finals and if the Warriors manage to win this exciting series, he will definitely get it. Now they are back in the Bay Area and the Warriors have once again a home advantage. The NBA Finals (tv lists here) continue on Sky Sports this week, sign up to watch the live action.
