Plenty of those, too.<\/p>\n<p>In a demonstrative and dominating performance that was one of the best of his postseason career, Curry scored 43 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 107-97 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night, sending the series back to San Francisco knotted at two games apiece.<\/p>\n<p>Two nights after shaking off a foot injury in a Game 3 loss, the two-time league MVP stomped and shot his way to his third-highest scoring total in the postseason, adding 10 rebounds and making a pair of baskets during a 10-0 fourth-quarter run that turned a four-point Boston edge into a 100-94 Golden State lead. It was the second-most points he\u2019s scored in the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe heart on that man is incredible,\u201d Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. \u201cThe things he does, we kind of take for granted at times, to go out there and put us on his back. We\u2019ve got to help him out on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1241228551.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption>Steph Curry finished with a game-high 43 points. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Andrew Wiggins had 17 points and 16 boards for the Warriors, who have won at least one road game for an NBA-record 27 consecutive playoff series since 2013. They will host Game 5 on Monday night, with Game 6 in Boston on Thursday; Golden State would hold the home-court advantage in a seventh game, if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to do it the difficult way,\u201d said Celtics coach Ime Udoka, whose team is 7-0 after losses in the 2022 postseason. \u201cWe have to do it again. It could have been an easier road, obviously, if you get the win tonight. But we\u2019re 2-2 now. We know we can do it. We\u2019ve done it before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jayson Tatum had 23 points and 11 rebounds for Boston, but he managed just one basket while playing the entire fourth quarter. Jaylen Brown scored 21 points and Robert Williams III had 12 rebounds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1402224461.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1402224461.jpg\" alt=\"Stephen Curry shoots during the Warriors&#039; Game 4 win over the Celtics.\" class=\"wp-image-22620234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1402224461.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1366 1366w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1402224461.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1402224461.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=683 683w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/1402224461.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=341 341w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Stephen Curry shoots during the Warriors\u2019 Game 4 win over the Celtics. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Marcus Smart, who scored 18 points, hit a 3-pointer to give the Celtics a 94-90 lead with just over five minutes remaining. But they missed six straight shots and did not score again until the 1:18 mark, after Curry made a floater and a 3-pointer to give the Warriors a 100-94 lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wasn\u2019t letting us lose. That\u2019s all it boils down to,\u201d Warriors big man Draymond Green said. \u201cI could tell in his demeanor, last couple of days, even after Game 3 that he was going to come out with that kind of fire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curry was more demonstrative than usual, raising his arms after failing to get a foul call, interacting with the sold-out TD Garden crowd and flexing to celebrate a big Warriors basket. Rather than returning home at the brink of elimination, the Warriors moved closer to a fourth NBA title in eight years at home.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/BASKETBALL-NBA-BOS-GSW_-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BASKETBALL-NBA-BOS-GSW_-2.jpg\" alt=\"Jayson tatum shoots during the Celtics&#039; game 4 loss to the Warriors.\" class=\"wp-image-22620235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/BASKETBALL-NBA-BOS-GSW_-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/BASKETBALL-NBA-BOS-GSW_-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/BASKETBALL-NBA-BOS-GSW_-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/BASKETBALL-NBA-BOS-GSW_-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Jayson tatum shoots during the Celtics\u2019 game 4 loss to the Warriors. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI felt like we just had to let everybody know that we were here tonight,\u201d Curry said. \u201cWhether that\u2019s their crowd, their team, our team, whoever wants to see that energy and that fire, we feed off of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans arriving at the TD Garden for what could have been the final time this season found a T-shirt draped over their seats with the 17 NBA championship banners lined up on the front. There was a blank rectangle where the 18th would go.<\/p>\n<p>Now the Celtics would need to win at least one more time in San Francisco to fill in the blank.<\/p>\n<p>The amped-up crowd spent much of the game booing Green, chanting an obscenity at him that is usually reserved for Bucky Dent, and jeering his many misses. He shot 1 of 7 but finished with nine rebounds and eight assists to go with two points.<\/p>\n<p>Green also had an offensive rebound and a dish to Curry after returning to the game in the final minute to eliminate any chance of a Boston comeback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the ultimate competitor. \u2026 Made huge plays down the stretch,\u201d Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. \u201cThis is a tough series for him to score because of Boston\u2019s size and athleticism, but he\u2019s still impacting the game at a huge level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOSTON \u2014 He stomped his feet, waved his arms, flexed his muscles and talked back to the crowd.
