Steph Curry hit an incredible shot during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics.

- SHOULD THE BUCKS MAKE A TRADE? The Milwaukee Bucks lost Game 7 to the Boston Celtics, which officially ended their 2021-22 NBA season in the second-round. The Warriors are down 2-1 in the series, so they need a win to tie up the series and avoid falling into a 3-1 hole. The Golden State Warriors are in Boston taking on the Celtics for Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night, and during the game Steph Curry hit a miraculous shot.

We take a closer look at the numbers to see what has separated the Celtics and Warriors over the first 3 games of these Finals.

During the regular season, the Warriors led the NBA in assist percentage as more than two-thirds of their baskets (66.9% to be exact) came off an assist. In Game 2, it was Golden State’s turn to capitalize on Boston’s mistakes, racking up an 18-point advantage (33-15) in points off turnovers in a 19-point win. In Game 1, Boston outscored the Warriors by 11 points off turnovers (21-10) and finished with a 12-point win. Part of that drop off has to be credited to Boston’s defense, which has disrupted Golden State’s normally free-flowing, pass-heavy offense. What separates the Celtics and Warriors through three games are two field goals (116-114) and five free throws (43-38), all in favor of Boston. The teams are even in 3-pointers made with 49 apiece, although Boston is making 3-pointers at a higher percentage. One stat that has been connected to the winner of all three games is points in the paint — the team that wins that battle has won each game. However, holding the edge on the break does not guarantee a win: Golden State outscored Boston 18-4 in fast-break points in Game 3 … and still lost by 16. The Celtics are utilizing the pass to set up scoring opportunities at a much higher rate than the Warriors. The Celtics (15.4%) and Warriors (15.1%) have turned the ball over at similar rates during the playoffs and during the Finals, specifically. Much of Boston’s +17 rebound advantage in The Finals came in Game 3 as the Celtics won the boards 47-31 overall and 15-6 on the offensive glass. The key stat to look at here is drives to the basket, where Boston has a 155-114 advantage in total drives and a 15-10 advantage in free throws made on drives. Boston has made five more (and also attempted seven more) free throws than Golden State thus far.

It's 2-1. Boston has not won the title yet, nor has Golden State lost it. The Warriors have, thus far, the best player in the series, and a top-two defence ...

The Warriors have, thus far, the best player in the series, and a top-two defence in the league. If you’re like me and grabbed Boston to win the title at +400 or so during the first round, now wouldn’t be a terrible time to hedge on Golden State (+190). I hate hedging though. I still really like Grant Williams OVER 0.5 made threes, a bet that’s cashed in 15 of 21 games so far this post-season. It’s still feeling like Boston’s series, but every minute that goes by I feel more and more confident we’re going to see a Game 7. Keep a close eye on Steph Curry’s movement early in Game 4. I think the Warriors hit back tonight. This series has the same kind of back-and-forth slugfest vibe as Boston-Miami did. The good news for Golden State fans is that means he can only improve. They occur on a continuum, and can affect a person’s whole life. I have watched the entirety of Draymond Green’s career. Worse than anything he did when he was a rookie, miscast as a traditional small forward in Mark Jackson’s outdated system. Worse than anything he did this season while recovering from a back injury.

The Celtics and Warriors are now tied 2-2 in the 2022 NBA Finals, thanks to an impressive 43-point performance from an injured Steph Curry.

He was credited with leading Brooklyn from 20 wins in his first season to 42-40 record in 2018-19 — the Nets’ first playoff berth since 2015. The Warriors will have Steph Curry on the floor. Well, Draymond Green received a similar treatment in TD Garden during Game 3, so much so that his wife called on the league to take action. When asked what needs to change for Game 4, Poole told reporters on Thursday, “Just being able to take what the defense gives us. He has 15 fouls and 15 points in the entire series. Green has had foul trouble in the 2022 NBA Finals, fouling out in Game 1 and Game 3. Steve Kerr is shaking up the lineup for Game 4: He started Otto Porter Jr. in place of Kevon Looney. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green round out the Warriors' starting lineup. This marks his third 30-point plus game of the series, but Curry is going to need some offensive help if the Warriors are going to win this pivotal game on the road. He picked up 2 rebounds, 2 assists and one steal before picking up his second foul and being pulled from the game with 4:18 left in the first. He hit the free throw to put the Celtics up 91-86. He’s scored 6 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter. In 2015, they trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers 2-1 before Game 4 in Cleveland.

It is updated weekly prior to the Draft. There are only 58 picks this year instead of the traditional 60. Below you can find answers to some of the main questions regarding this year’s NBA Draft.

Golden State's star fought through a Game 3 foot injury to take control of Game 4, lifting the Warriors to a 107-97 win that evened the NBA Finals.

For Steph to take that kind of pressure all game long and still be able to defend on the other end [is big]. I think this is the strongest he’s ever been in his career, and it allows him to do what he’s been doing.” For the fourth time in the series, the Warriors outscored the Celtics in the third quarter, this time erasing a five-point halftime deficit to take a 79-78 lead into the fourth quarter. “The things he does we kind of take for granted from time to time. Curry’s fingerprints were all over that push, as he held his follow-through after drilling a three-pointer from the top of the key and sneaked into the left corner to hit another. In the tightest game of this series, Curry displayed what he often calls his “championship DNA.” As Boston missed open looks from three down the stretch, Curry knocked in a one-legged runner, made a three-pointer from the right angle with just under two minutes left and then ran a pick and roll with Draymond Green to set up a layup for Kevon Looney in the game’s final minute. Curry’s optimism about the extent of his injury — he insisted it wasn’t as bad as a left foot sprain he suffered in March — proved well-founded, as he showed no ill effects.

Newly minted billionaire LeBron James is ready to bet big on Las Vegas, with ambitions of installing a NBA franchise in Sin City.

“We are not discussing that at this time,” Silver said. We have a WNBA team in Seattle in an almost brand-new building that’s doing spectacular. “Those are wonderful markets,” Silver said.

The Warriors would love to see Poole have a breakout game. 11:10 p.m. — The Warriors rattle off a 7-0 run to take a three-point lead. The Sporting News tracked live scoring updates and highlights from Warriors vs. Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored a team-high 23 points in the loss, but he struggled from the field (8-of-23) and turned the ball over six times. ... It's crazy because I still feel like we can play just a little bit better, but to win on the road and get home-court advantage back, it's big, big for this group."

Steve Kerr says Curry won't have any minute restrictions Friday night due to his foot.

"I'll be all right," Curry said after Game 3. After the game, the two-time league MVP said it felt like a mild foot sprain. The Golden State Warriors lost Game 3 of the 2022 NBA Finals, 116-110, on Wednesday night, but an even bigger storyline that emerged from the loss was a left foot injury to superstar guard Stephen Curry. Late in the fourth quarter, Curry was in some serious pain after Boston Celtics big man Al Horford appeared to land on top of Curry's lower leg during a scrum for a loose ball.

Stephen Curry can still move, and boy can he still shoot.Because the Golden State Warriors' best player is OK after all, they are too.

Curry and Tatum both scored 12 points in a first quarter that ended with a Grant Williams’ 3-pointer as time expired that gave the Celtics a 28-27 advantage. While Porter was ineffective in 15 minutes, Looney was huge off the bench with six points and 11 boards. “We just got to do a better job executing down the stretch. Curry again was the culprit with 14 points and Golden State went up by one. Derrick White scored 16 off the bench for Boston. This after dominating the paint in Game 3. After a 3-ball in the first quarter, he flexed and roared at the hostile Boston crowd, welcoming its wrath. Our offense wasn’t as good as it needed to be and it aided them on defense.” “We wouldn’t have won without him,” said Jordan Poole, who scored 14 points off the Warriors’ bench. “We guarded well enough to win, even though Curry kind of got loose. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 23 points and added 11 rebounds, but shot 8-of-23. It was also his 11th Finals game with at least six 3s.

It wasn't officially a must-win game, but it was pretty darn close. And when push came to shove, the Warriors, led by a brilliant outing from Stephen Curry, ...

The Warriors can enjoy this win for now, but it’s back to San Francisco to prepare for the biggest game of the series. Curry sinks two more free throws, finishing with 43 points on the night. He finds Draymond on the roll, and Green draws and dishes to Looney for the easy layup. The Warriors turn it over, but Boston bricks another open 3-pointer — this one from Al Horford following great defense by Thomson to close Brown’s driving lane and force him to pass. I know it's baked into the style, but it's just unsurvivable against a team this good at making it hard for you to score under ideal circumstances. 6. Brown converts back-to-back driving layups off Warriors turnovers to give the Celtics a four-point lead with 7:32 left. 8. Curry scores 14 of his 33 points in the third to give Golden State a 79-78 lead heading into the final quarter. Is this the beginning of another dominant third quarter from the Warriors? A Curry runner is followed by a Tatum 3-pointer (he’s 3-for-3 from deep so far), then Jordan Poole got this to go against the Time Lord’s defensive wall: 14. Boston is making a push late in the first half, ripping off a 10-0 run to turn a three-point deficit into a seven-point lead with just under three minutes remaining. Wiggins has a pair of 3-pointers and a nice step-back shot from the post; he’s looked great so far as a scoring complement to Curry. Here are 24 thoughts on Game 4 as it unfolded in Boston.

Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Joel Embiid sent out a tweet during Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics.

- SHOULD THE BUCKS MAKE A TRADE? The Milwaukee Bucks lost Game 7 to the Boston Celtics, which officially ended their 2021-22 NBA season in the second-round. The Heat then lost to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals in seven games. As for Embiid and the 76ers, they lost in the second-round of the playoffs to Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in six games.

In leading the Warriors, Stephen Curry is reminding the basketball world that he is among the best who have ever played — as if anyone should really need to ...

Wiggins played well – his career-high 16 rebounds included a pair of critical put-backs in the fourth quarter– but he always seems to have a little more in him that doesn’t quite make it to the floor. For the fourth straight game, the Celtics got beaten in the third quarter, this time 30-24, which pushed the Warriors' aggregate advantage in the first 12 minutes after half to plus-49 as Boston gave up a five-point halftime lead. Curry took off for the basket, flipped up a high-arching finger roll and then watched in amazement as the Celtics' young centre moved like a panther and jumped like he was shot out of cannon, easily getting from the foul line in time to swat Curry’s once wide-open lay-up out of bounds. He finished plus-6 for the game, on his way to seven points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots in 31 minutes. And all the while, every lay-up the Warriors have attempted with Williams on the floor has been made more difficult because of his presence, and it shows. But as the Finals have worn on, and it’s clear that Golden State needs someone – anyone – to step up and support Curry, Wiggins has fallen somewhat short. Green was integral to the Warriors' three championships, but as they go for their fourth in eight years, the 32-year-old seems like a problem, rather than a solution. He lifted the Warriors early with a 19-point first half, and then refused to let the game— and the series— get away from Golden State as he put up 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the pivotal third quarter. He managed just three rebounds and the Warriors' best stretch came after he sat down with two quick fouls in the first quarter. Normally you could point to his defensive contributions, but according to ESPN Green was allowing 1.24 points per play in isolation as a defender, which is what happens when you allow Al Horford or Jaylen Brown to get off for big games on your watch. After that, Kevin Durant was on the Warriors, and Golden State’s superstar depth made it difficult to give Curry his proper due in the Finals. Casual fans might look at the offensive numbers or his fairly ordinary level of athleticism and wonder what all the fuss was about.

The Warriors star cooks up another impressive showing, shooting 50% from 3-point range as the Warriors even the 2022 NBA Finals at 2-2.

Player shooting Player shooting Player stats Player stats Three is greater than two and Curry’s 49% from beyond the arc is like shooting 73.5% inside it. After being held under a point per possession (49 on 51) in the first half, the Warriors scored 58 points on just 45 possessions ( 129 per 100) after halftime.

Stephen 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.

Williams was listed as questionable coming into the game with the knee injury that kept him out at the end of the regular season and the start of the playoffs. Curry’s ankle was an issue coming into the night after Boston’s Al Horford landed on it late in Game 3. 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. “The things he does, we kind of take for granted at times, to go out there and put us on his back. Marcus Smart, who scored 18 points, hit a three-pointer to give the Celtics a 94-90 lead with just over five minutes remaining. Andrew Wiggins had 17 points and 16 boards for the Warriors, who have won at least one road game for 27 consecutive playoff series.

Wiggins has been Curry's most reliable running mate on both ends of the court throughout the playoffs.

Though it doesn't happen often, Wiggins can reliably come to the rescue with isolation or post-up creation when his team needs him, as he did on this fadeaway in the first quarter of Game 4. This is nothing new for Wiggins, however, who has gone from a disappointing would-be franchise player as a No. 1 overall pick with the Timberwolves to an absolutely elite role player with a Warriors team that sits two wins away from its fourth NBA championship in eight seasons. He needs at least a couple of teammates to come along for the ride -- and if you look up and down the roster, Wiggins is the one who's been sitting shotgun with Curry at the wheel this whole time. It's clear that it's going to take at least two more herculean efforts from Curry if the Warriors are going to beat what looks like, on paper at least, a superior Celtics squad. But every once in a while, when the Warriors' offense collapses and the shot clock runs down, they need someone who can get a bucket. "I just want to win. On the next Warriors possession, Thompson hit a 3-pointer that gave Golden State a lead it wouldn't relinquish. He came crashing in from the weak side with reckless abandon for 13 defensive rebounds, and also came up with three offensive rebounds, none more important than this put-back on Jordan Poole's missed layup with just under five minutes remaining. At plus-20 for the night, he gracefully played Mercutio to Curry's Romeo performance of 43 points and 10 rebounds on 7-for-14 3-point shooting, as the Warriors pulled out a gritty, inspiring 107-97 win to tie the series at 2-2. Tatum is shooting just 50 percent in the restricted area during the Finals, compared to 68 percent in the regular season. After an 8-for-23 performance in Game 4, Tatum is now averaging 22.3 points in the Finals on 34 percent shooting. Stephen Curry, we knew, would bring it on a nightly basis, and he's exceeded expectations against the Boston Celtics so far with masterpiece after masterpiece.

Game 4 of the NBA Finals saw one of the greatest performances of Stephen Curry's career. Putting the team on his back, Curry led the Golden State Warriors ...

Steph Curry reminded the basketball world of his greatness, notching 43 points on 14/26 shooting and keeping the Warriors' hopes alive. In a fourth-quarter filled with big shots, Steph Curry had the final say. Putting the team on his back, Curry led the Golden State Warriors to a furious comeback against the Boston Celtics and a 107-97 win.

Stephen Curry captures the moment, Steve Kerr makes a crucial choice in the 4th and more thoughts as the Warriors retake homecourt advantage.

“Well, you have a group of guys who are going to be in the Hall of Fame someday: Steph, Klay, Draymond,” he said. There were times in that series when Tatum was the best player on a floor he shared with a two-time MVP and NBA champ (Giannis Antetokounmpo). Then against the Heat he closed out strong, averaging 28 points and 10 rebounds in the last two games. Coach Steve Kerr had a perfectly reasonable answer for the Warriors’ road success in the Steph Curry era. When two superior teams meet, the city and the name of the arena rarely is ever matters. Contrast this to the First Round Tatum, Second Round Tatum and the East Finals Tatum. It wasn’t too long ago when he had a career-defining 43-point masterpiece against the Bucks and in a two-game stretch had 80 points and another game with 13 rebounds. A few switches to get favorable matchups and jumpers followed, and the job was done, with 10 rebounds a bonus on the tally. It was a chilling sign for the Celtics, who were mostly helpless against the carnage done by Curry and his first 40-piece of the 2022 postseason. Otherwise, it was a mild effort by Green and a forgettable two-game stay in Boston, capped by a fourth-quarter removal. Oh, and doing this against a tough defensive team such as the Celtics, that’s a bonus, should Curry and the Warriors pull this off. Both were possible because Kerr sat Green for Kevon Looney midway through a tight fourth quarter — and perhaps as a result, the Warriors’ chances increased. Curry was in for an epic night, a defining night for him in the Finals, where in the past he hasn’t always been at his peak. So: About that left foot he and the raised red flags?

The girlfriends and wives of the Celtics and Warriors are out in full force for the NBA Finals!!!

These WAGs will be out in full force for the rest of the Finals ... 'cause this one's heating up. The Celtics and Warriors are currently duking it out in an intense series ... but let's take a second to show love for the wives and girlfriends of the NBA Finals!! Draymond has admittedly played like "s***" at points this series ... but his wife has been there for her man through it all. Damion Lee's wifey is Sydel Curry-Lee, a 27-year-old volleyball player ... who also happens to be the sister of his teammate, Steph. Steph is already a 3-time NBA champ ... but his wife will certainly be cheering for him as he tries to capture his first Finals MVP. Celtics And Warriors WAGs Steal The Spotlight ... At NBA Finals

The NBA Finals return to Chase Center for a pivotal Game 5 matchup between the Warriors and Celtics.

Marcus Smart, Derrick White and Al Horford also have had their moments offensively for the Celtics in the Finals, who as a team are shooting 49 percent in their wins and 39 percent in their losses. He’s averaging 34.3 points while shooting over 49 percent (both overall and on 3-pointers), and he’s made no fewer than five threes in any game in these Finals. Should he keep up at this pace, this will be Curry’s highest scoring performance in his NBA Finals career, and the third highest scoring postseason series overall. He’s averaging 3.0 blocks per game and has the second best average plus-minus rating (+5.0) among players who play at least 15 minutes a game in this series, trailing only Looney. The Celtics have been the best road team during this postseason, and they’ll need that to ring true at least one more time to keep their Championship hopes alive. AST: Tatum (6.2) Wiggins has been dealt the tough task of defending Boston’s All-NBA star Jayson Tatum. And just as he did against Luka Doncic in the Western Conference Finals, Wiggins is making Tatum work for everything he gets in The Finals. Tatum is averaging 22.3 points while shooting 34.1 percent from the field, down from the 27.0 points on 44.6 percent shooting he had through the first three rounds of the postseason. In fact, the Warriors have outscored the Celtics by a single point (422-421) through the first four games. Curry made seven threes in the game and Andrew Wiggins had 17 points and a career-high 16 rebounds in the win, which tied the series up at 2-2. AST: Green (6.2) Stephen Curry had 43 points and the Warriors ended a tightly contested game with a 17-3 run to win Game 4, 107-97, in Boston on Friday night. The Warriors have won the third quarter in each of the first four games of the series and are a cumulative plus-49 in that period for the series, but Boston rode dominant fourth quarters to each of their wins in Games 1 and 3. AST: 27.2 (1st) The Dubs have gone 10-1 at home this postseason, and with three games at most left in the series, the Warriors can and will use any edge they can with each team two wins away from an NBA Championship. If Monday’s Game 5 plays out anything like the first four games, it will be decided in the second half, as the team who has won the second half has won each of the first four games in the series.

Take a closer look at Golden State's 107-97 win over Boston in Game 4 to tie the Finals at 2-2 with a deep dive into all aspects of the box score.

• In each of the first three games of the Finals, Marcus Smart was matched up with Stephen Curry for the most minutes of any Celtic, followed by Derrick White each time. • Stephen Curry shot the ball better when he was contested (9-for-14, 64.3%) than when he was left uncontested (5-for-12, 41.7%) in Game 4. • Boston doubled up the Warriors on box outs in Game 4, 12-6. • The teams tied in loose balls recovered as every 50-50 ball is critical in the Finals. No play may have demonstrated that more than Jayson Tatum’s dive and slide across the sidelines to try to save a ball from going out of bounds. • No player was on the move more than Klay Thompson in Game 4 as he traveled just under three miles on the court with a game-high 2.97 miles. In Game 4, the Warriors had 14 screen assists for 38 points – the top two marks of the series. • The Warriors assisted on only half of their made field goals in Game 4, which is not only their lowest assist percentage of the Finals, but is also their lowest mark of the entire postseason. • Boston has finished with a higher free throw rate in three of the four games in this series. He not only made the same number of 2s and 3s, he was also assisted at the same rate on both shot types (42.9%). • The first three games of the series featured only 11 total seconds of clutch time – score within five points in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime – and that came in Game 1, when Al Horford made a 3-pointer with 4:49 to play in the game to put Boston up by six. Boston’s Jaylen Brown led all players with 12 points in the paint, while Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 10, followed by Andrew Wiggins at eight. • In Boston’s two wins in this series, it has shot 50.6% (Game 1) and 48.3% (Game 3) as a team, respectively.

Perhaps no player had a greater impact on this game for Golden State than Andrew Wiggins, who finished with 17 points and a career-high 16 rebounds. Having the ball late in the shot-clock and being assertive is what will win Boston this series. Stephen Curry put on an absolute show in this game and no matter if he was wide-open, heavily contested or being fouled, everything Curry seemed to put up went in, especially in the second-half. Through four games in the 2022 NBA Finals now, Curry is averaging 34.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and is shooting 49.8% from the floor, 49.1% from three-point range. Andrew Wiggins is a perfect example of this. - Draymond Green's Amazing Quote About Steph Curry After Game 4: On Friday, Draymond Green met with the media after the Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics by a score of 107-97 to take Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The third quarter of Game 4 was much like the third quarters of the previous three games in this series and the Warriors outscored the Celtics 30-24 with Curry scoring 14 points in the quarter and helping Golden State take a one-point lead into the fourth. Golden State ended up outrebounding Boston 55-42 in Game 4, helping them hold on and even up this series at 2-2 after a 107-97 victory on the road. Over the final twelve minutes of Game 4 on Friday night, Curry continued to give the Celtics’ defense fits and the Warriors as a whole were putting in work on the offensive and defensive glass. With their backs up against the wall and facing a scenario where they could have gone down 3-1 in the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors responded in Game 4 against the Boston Celtics on Friday night.

A business trip between 3 Nike employees takes an unexpected turn, and ends up changing a young Utah Jazz fan's life.

“We gave him back to his mom, had that moment, tears were shed, and we all choked up as we realized this is what the night was for; it wasn’t for the game. “As his back was to us, we could see her face and the tears that began to stream down her cheeks.” Then I asked about her son, and it was great to hear that he’s done really well in life.” “We were excited about the Jazz and I would have loved to have gone if circumstances were different, but I wasn’t about to take that opportunity away from Chase,” Mary recalls. “I was just so excited to see those guys the next day,” Mary said. It wasn’t until a year ago that the idea of getting back in contact was first sparked by Ken finding his ticket stub while he was in the process of moving. “The game changed for us right there and it became all about Chase’s experience that night,” Ken said. “I just thought there’s so many times that you help a customer because it’s the right thing to do, and I kind of felt like that at the time,” Mary said. “I remember handing them up to him, and then thinking, ‘What did I just do?'” Mary said with a laugh. The reason she didn’t go to the game herself, but rather insisted that the ticket go to her son. But for a Finals Jazz game against Michael Jordan and the Bulls, it was like, ‘Yeah, I’m out of here guys.'” She has tickets to the Jazz game,” said Chase, who is now 38 and still lives in the Salt Lake City metro area.

It's 2-1. Boston has not won the title yet, nor has Golden State lost it. The Warriors have, thus far, the best player in the series, and a top-two defence ...

The Warriors have, thus far, the best player in the series, and a top-two defence in the league. If you’re like me and grabbed Boston to win the title at +400 or so during the first round, now wouldn’t be a terrible time to hedge on Golden State (+190). I hate hedging though. I still really like Grant Williams OVER 0.5 made threes, a bet that’s cashed in 15 of 21 games so far this post-season. It’s still feeling like Boston’s series, but every minute that goes by I feel more and more confident we’re going to see a Game 7. Keep a close eye on Steph Curry’s movement early in Game 4. I think the Warriors hit back tonight. This series has the same kind of back-and-forth slugfest vibe as Boston-Miami did. The good news for Golden State fans is that means he can only improve. They occur on a continuum, and can affect a person's whole life. I have watched the entirety of Draymond Green’s career. Worse than anything he did when he was a rookie, miscast as a traditional small forward in Mark Jackson’s outdated system. Worse than anything he did this season while recovering from a back injury.

Could it be anyone else? Golden State's sharpshooter goes off for 43 points and seven 3-pointers to continue his torrid Finals.

In Game 4, his 13 defensive rebounds helped the Warriors limit the Celtics to 12 second-chance points, compared to his own team’s 19. Thompson and Curry (18 points) nearly outscored the entire Celtics roster (19 points) in the fourth quarter as they combined to hit 5-for-8 from the field and 3-for-4 from deep. Thompson joined Curry and Green in winning 19 career NBA Finals contests to match San Antonio’s Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili for the most Finals victories by any trio over the last 50 seasons. But of course, we’ve still got to let this play out on the court as we step back into the thick of this dogfight of an NBA Finals on Monday at Chase Center. In the second half of the first four games, Tatum is minus-19 while averaging 8.3 points on 26.5% from the floor and 21.4% from 3-point range. Usually aggressive, Brown took his first shot of the night with 7:31 left in the opening quarter and finished with just two points before scoring 10 in the second quarter. In Game 3, Boston crushed the Warriors on the boards (47-31) with the forward producing just seven rebounds in a 116-100 loss. In doing so, he became the first Golden State Warrior since Nate Thurmond in 1967 to finish with at least 17 points and 16 rebounds in an NBA Finals contest. “Wiggs has done what he’s done all playoffs: make it tough for the opposing starter to score” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “I just know last game they had outrebounded us and got all the offensive rebounds,” he said. That just carried over into a 14-point third quarter, then an uber-efficient final frame as Golden State embarked on a 17-3 run over the final five minutes. “To go against Boston, you’ve got to deal with Tatum and Brown, and they are just powerful, skilled players.
