WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
Stephen Curry scored 43 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 107-97 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday night, tying the NBA Finals at 2-2.
Curry suffered a foot injury in Game 3 on Wednesday, but his performance on Friday put Golden State fans at ease. He also grabbed 10 rebounds and contributed four assists.
“It’s crazy because I still feel we can play a little bit better. But to win on the road and get the home-court advantage back, is big for this group. We’ve been here six times, we’ve got a lot of experience of staying confident and composed,” Curry said.
The Celtics were hoping to get a match point in the finals, and they led by five points at halftime. But the Warriors rallied in the second half to lead 79-78 after three quarters.
The game heated up in the fourth quarter as the Celtics hit consecutive baskets to take a four-point lead. The Warriors responded with a 10-0 run when Curry made five of six free throws in the clutch to seal the win.
“This is a tough series for him to score because of Boston’s size and athleticism, but he’s still impacting the game at a huge level,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said about Curry.
Klay Thompson scored 18 points for the Warriors, while Andrew Wiggins contributed 17 points and 16 rebounds.
Jayson Tatum had 23 points and 11 rebounds for Boston, Jaylen Brown scored 21 points and Robert Williams III added 12 rebounds.
