At 34, Curry may be in the twilight of his career, but he looked like a man still playing at the height of his absolute power.

Carrie, who was suspicious of this game with Injury in game 3He made 14 out of 26 field goal attempts and seven of 14 out of three attempts. But it wasn’t just his impressive efficiency in front of a boisterous Boston crowd that made this performance special.

Many believe he was the greatest player of all time to have done the long-range triple of tackle, pass the ball with difficulty and display ridiculous silky handles that made him one of the toughest players to defend in the NBA.

Teammate Klay Thompson said he thinks Friday’s main class is “probably No. 1” of Curry’s finals greatest showing.

“I mean, this was a game that almost had to be won,” Thompson told reporters. “And to go out there and shoot as efficiently as he did, grab 10 rebounds and have been attacking him on defense — I mean, his conditioning is second to none in this league.

“Steve played incredibly… Come game five, we have to help him. Asking him to score 43 every night is absurd.

“It’s great to see what he’s doing,” Thompson added. “He does it so often that you kind of take it for granted, but I’m just as intrigued as the rest of the audience. It looks easy.”

But Curry, who has 10 rebounds and five assists, was not drawn to the arrangement of his performances in the singles finals.

“I don’t rate my performances. I just want to win the match,” Curry told reporters.

However, as has been the case for so many of this Finals series, Curry was again let down by fellow co-stars Thompson and Draymond Green.

Green in particular has come under fire from fans and critics, with some suggesting he appears more interested in trying to excite his opponents than his performances on the field.

Jason Tatum led the Celtics with 23 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, while Jaylen Brown scored 21 points, six rebounds and made 2.

It was just a three-point game in the last 90 seconds after Alhorford scored a whopping three, but the Celtics’ attack didn’t pan out in the latter stages and they failed to score another point.

The teams now return to San Francisco for Game Five on Monday night, as the Warriors seek to make the most of regaining their home field advantage.
