NBA Finals: Golden State equalizes at 2-2 against Boston thanks to a “dazzling” Stephen Curry

Him again.

Stephen Curry got the better of Boston (107-97), Friday in a long boiling then extinguished TD Garden, to equalize with two victories everywhere in the very indecisive NBA final.

With 43 points including 7 baskets behind the arc, the man with three champion rings (2015, 2017, 2018) achieved a high-flying month of June.

Never elected MVP of a final, Curry seems this time on a mission.

The match, intense and exhilarating throughout, was far from over, when LeBron James tweeted: “The Chief is CRAZY!!!

".

The "King", as a connoisseur for having experienced this type of crazy evening, especially when he overthrew these same Warriors in 2016 after being led 3-1 with Cleveland, must have suspected the outcome.

It was however long to take shape until the last minutes of the fourth quarter, the one that usually smiles at the Celtics since the start of the play-offs.

But their address was less foliochonne in this period (7/21) than it was in the previous three.

And in the wake of Curry, decidedly in the oven and in the mill (10 rebounds, 4 assists), his "Splash Brother" Klay Thompson proved to be invaluable by scoring 8 of his 18 points (7/17).

Just like Andrew Wiggins, who managed a huge construction inside (17 pts, 16 rebounds) and Draymond Green, huge in his role as a fighter (9 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 interceptions).

“Just dazzling” according to Steve Kerr

“We finally understood in the fourth quarter that we could shoot well and execute our game well. It's crazy because I still think we can play a little bit better.

But getting an away win and recovering the home advantage is huge, huge for this group,” commented the hero of the evening.

A hero who was the subject of many questions before this 4th game, after hurting his left leg during the defeat conceded 48 hours earlier (116-100).

Not only did he not play diminished, but he showed no apprehension and sent quite a message to the Celtics.

Chef is INSANE!!!

😂😂😂😂😂

“What he has done is just stunning.

Boston has the best defense in the league.

They are powerful in every position, and for Steph to endure this kind of pressure throughout the game shows that he has never been so physically strong.

Which allows him to do what he does,” summed up his trainer Steve Kerr.

A scorching Game 5 on Monday in San Francisco

Side Celtics, the trio Jayson Tatum (23 pts, 11 rebounds, 6 assists), Jaylen Brown (21 pts, 6 rebounds) and Marcus Smart (18 pts, 5 assists) did not deserve.

And they were in the lead (94-90) five minutes from time, that is to say at the start of money-time, without being able to press harder.

What will have betrayed them is the long-range address, which went from 8/14 in the first period to 7/24 in the second.

Golden State also won the battle in the paint (38-32) and rebounds (55-42).

“The road could have been easier, obviously, if we had won tonight.

But it's like that.

We are at 2-2 now.

We know we can do it.

We have done this before.

You have to keep your head up and go for a victory there, ”called coach Ime Udoka.

Both teams have 72 hours to rest, before a N.5 match which promises to be hot on Monday in San Francisco.

Because the one who wins will only be one victory away from the title.
