Firstly, Boston is one of the best defensive teams in the league, yet Curry managed to elude the defensive containment; he just peppered them with his shooting from beyond the arc. Secondly, the Celtics succeeded in their defense over the other warriors but not this splash brother.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Curry went on to score 43 points and pulled 10 rebounds to lead Golden State to victory. And lastly, they had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/g\/greendr01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Draymond Green<\/strong><\/a> on a leash with just 2 points. Nevertheless, Green hauled 8 boards and 8 dimes to pitch in the Dubs\u2019 win.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, The Celtics had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/tatumja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Jayson Tatum<\/strong><\/a> leading with\u00a0 26.9 ppg followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/brownja02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Jaylen Brown<\/strong><\/a> with 23.6 ppg.<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Curry Flurry Domination of Game 4<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Golden State PG Stephen Curry unleashed his dominance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. As a result, the series is now tied at 2-2 and sent Game 5 back to the Golden City in the Bay Area. The foot injury he sustained in Game 3 did not hamper his point-making prowess.<\/p>\n<p>Boston led by four points in the fourth quarter, but Curry\u2019s flurry added a couple of shots in the 10-0 run. The surge turned the Celtic\u2019s edge into a 100-94 Warriors lead. They never looked back.<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Celtics vs Warriors Predictions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The Golden State Warriors have now the edge to take the lead back home at Chase Center. The Dubs come to this game as 3.5-point favorites. The home crowd is a tough ally of the Warriors; certainly, the Celtics will face this huge challenge from the Golden State fans.<\/p>\n<p>Boston is a winning team away from home but they will be dealing with Curry who\u2019s on a winning momentum from Game 4. The dynamic point guard of the Dubs\u2019 nation carried Golden State throughout the game on a bad leg. He is the only Warrior who scored over 18 points in the 4th game of the best of seven series.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden State Warriors will take over Game 5 to take the lead in the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<p>Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals Starting Time: 9:00 p.m., Monday, June 13, 2022 ET at Chase Center in San Francisco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tides turned.
