NBA Finals Game 4 recap: Warriors' trio nears record for Finals wins ... (USA TODAY)

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.

Celtics vs. Warriors score, takeaways: Stephen Curry erupts for 43 ... (CBSSports.com)

Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics was essentially a heavyweight brawl for 48 minutes with both sides landing big ...

We don't know how long this is going to last, but it's important to note that with six minutes left in a Finals game, Draymond Green is on the bench. In Game 3, it went double-big for a long stretch in the fourth quarter after splitting up Williams and Horford for most of the game. Nemanja Bjelica has been in and out of the rotation all postseason. He finished with 17 points and 16 rebounds in 43 minutes, and the Warriors were plus-20 with him on the floor. In the Eastern Conference finals against the Heat, they couldn't complete a comeback in Game 3, couldn't hold on to a late lead in Game 6 and nearly blew Game 7 in a disastrous fashion. While he did most of his work on the defensive glass, he also came up with a few clutch put-backs in the fourth quarter to get the Warriors some big non-Curry points. With 3:41 left, the Celtics came out of a timeout with a White-Smart-Brown-Tatum-Horford lineup, sending Robert Williams III to the bench after he appeared to tweak his knee. That is the highest differential in a Finals game in the last 25 years, per ESPN Stats and Info. They were on the road in a hostile environment, down 2-1 and trailing for large stretches of the game. The Celtics closed the regular season on a 28-7 run, and in a strange way, they may have been a bit too good over the final few months. For starters, this wasn't like Game 1 or some stretches of Game 3 where the Celtics were having breakdowns on the defensive end and giving Curry too much space. Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics was essentially a heavyweight brawl for 48 minutes with both sides landing big blows throughout.

This might as well be an elimination game for the Warriors, who are not going to become the second team in NBA history recover from a 3-1 Finals deficit to ...

I expect the Celtics to start to separate themselves in Game 4. The Celtics are daring the Warriors to beat them one-on-one, and Curry is the only scorer they have who's capable of doing so. The Celtics were the more physical team throughout Game 3, and at times they simply looked too big and too athletic for Golden State to match up with, and that's not necessarily something you can scheme against. The Warriors need him to do so much, and if he's not at full strength it's going to be tough for them to win. The other issue for the Warriors is that they've had trouble finding consistent scoring outside of Steph Curry, while the Celtics have had more consistent contributions. Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins showed signs of life on offense in Game 3 which was encouraging, but Golden State couldn't stop anyone on the other end of the floor. They won't get dominated on the boards again, and Draymond Green is going to come out with the fire and passion we saw in Game 2. Yet the Warriors, as far as we know, are still the Warriors, and recency bias reigns supreme in the NBA. So barring Curry being too hurt to truly help, the sky is most likely not actually falling on the Warriors -- and a win shifts this series and its momentum back into their hands. I can't pick the Warriors when I don't think they have figured out a winning formula *and* Steph might be hobbled. Bill Reiter: It felt certain earlier in the week that the Warriors would win one of these two games in Boston. Steph Curry is Steph Curry. Klay Thompson would certainly reclaim his shooting touch, at least for one game. That said, the Boston Celtics increasingly look like the clearly superior team. I think the Warriors will find a way to win Game 4 and turn it into a three-game series going back to San Francisco, but most of my colleagues disagree.

Celtics vs. Warriors, NBA Finals Game 4: Live stream, TV channel ... (USA TODAY)

Can Boston take a 3-1 lead, or will Golden State even the series? Here is viewing info, X-factors and everything you need to know for Game 4.

Golden State desperately needs his production as a third (and sometimes second) scoring option, especially if Steph Curry is going to be hampered at all by the apparent leg injury he sustained in Game 3. When he's 100% and at the top of his game, though, the Celtics are at their best. His defensive versatility allows the Celtics to play big more often next to Al Horford and take advantage of the smaller Warriors. A win by the Celtics gives them a nearly insurmountable 3-1 lead and complete control of the series. Boston improved to 7-0 after a loss by winning Game 3 and taking a 2-1 lead. The Warriors get another chance to rebound in Friday's pivotal Game 4.

NBA finals Game 4: Golden State Warriors 107-97 Boston Celtics ... (The Guardian)

Rolling report: The Golden State Warriors leveled the NBA finals against the Boston Celtics with a crucial Game 4 win. Beau Dure was watching.

Warriors 60-66 Celtics, 7:31, third period: The summer of Draymond Green’s discontent continues, with Jaylen Brown drawing a foul from the controversial Warrior and finishing beautifully. He also hits the shot and the free throw. At the other end, he saves a ball for a defensive rebound, starting a fast break that ends with Derrick White’s acrobatic layup with the and-one. Tatum is +10. Stats and damned lies, perhaps, but the issue for the Celtics is that Tatum, Brown and Robert Williams III have been bearing a lot of the load. Brown with the steal and a “layup” in which he was falling and had the ball maybe a foot off the ground when he released it. And what of Otto Porter Jr., the Warriors’ surprise starter? And he probably should’ve gone to the line as well. Warriors 73-73 Celtics, 2:31, third period: Tatum returns from a brief spell on the bench, but after a couple of misses and turnovers, guess who hits another twisting effort, this time from ... apparently 33 feet? Warriors 97-94 Celtics, 3:21: Cue the procession of timeouts. Warriors 102-97 Celtics, 46.8: Brown loses the ball out of bounds. Warriors 86-90 Celtics, 7:32: Brown with the runner. Warriors 97-94 Celtics, 3:41: Klay Thompson continues a late-game surge with a big three.

Boston just couldn't buy a basket from 3-point range. It was arguably the best game of his career.

BOSTON (AP) 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 ...

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. Boston's got the best defense in the league - huge and powerful at every position, and for Steph to take that kind of pressure all game long and still be able to defend ... I think this is the strongest physically he's ever been in his career.'' Curry scored 14 points in the quarter, making four 3-pointers. Curry's ankle was an issue coming into the night after Boston's Al Horford landed on it late in Game 3. ''This is a tough series for him to score because of Boston's size and athleticism, but he's still impacting the game at a huge level.'' 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. Marcus Smart, who scored 18 points, hit a 3-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. There was a blank rectangle where the 18th would go. ''He's the ultimate competitor. ''We had to do it the difficult way,'' said Celtics coach Ime Udoka, whose team split the first four games in each of its previous two series. We've got to help him out on Monday.''

5 takeaways from the Warriors' series-tying Game 4 victory in 2022 ... (NBA.com)

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?

NBA Finals Game 5: Steph Curry scoring, Draymond Green ... (Sporting News)

The Warriors managed to tie the NBA Finals with the Celtics 2-2 with their Game 4 win, but what are the keys to gaining an advantage back in San Francisco ...

Boston must continue to protect the ball for the remainder of this series as they did in Game 3. But with the series now tied 2-2 and the Warriors once again holding homecourt advantage, will Tatum be able to assert himself on this series as a superstar should? This was a departure from Game 1 in which Green seemed like he was trying to shoot his way out of the slump. In Game 2 they had 18 turnovers which led to 33 Warriors' points. In the first four games, he's averaging 22.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists. I sound like a broken record, but when the Celtics take care of the ball, they usually win games. They protected the ball much better in Game 3 turning it over just 12 times. Green has made more headlines this season for his post-game comments and podcast vocation. He finished with 43 points (7-of-14 from beyond the arc), 10 rebounds and four assists. Curry outscored the rest of the Warriors' starters 43-39. At some points during Game 4 it appeared like he was straight up scared to shoot the ball. As we mentioned in the intro, he almost single-handedly willed his team to that Game 4 win, and he will again be leading the charge in Game 5.

Game 5 Preview: Warriors vs. Celtics - 6/13/22 (Warriors.com)

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.

Warriors vs. Celtics - Game Recap - June 10, 2022 - ESPN (ESPN)

Get a recap of the Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics basketball game.

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. “This is a tough series for him to score because of Boston’s size and athleticism, but he’s still impacting the game at a huge level.” Curry scored 14 points in the quarter, making four 3-pointers. Curry’s foot 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. 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. “The things he does, we kind of take for granted at times, to go out there and put us on his back. “I felt like we just had to let everybody know that we were here tonight,” Curry said. Marcus Smart, who scored 18 points, hit a 3-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 an NBA-record 27 consecutive playoff series since 2013. It was the second-most points he's scored in the NBA Finals. “We had to do it the difficult way,” said Celtics coach Ime Udoka, whose team is 7-0 after losses in the 2022 postseason.
