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.

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.

'Absolutely iconic': Curry drops 43 pts in 'incredible' performance as Warriors level NBA Finals.

He picked up three personal fouls in three quarters and was subbed out by Steve Kerr in the final quarter in what was a gutsy call by the Warriors coach. The Golden State star sunk a shot from deep and exploded in celebration as the TD Garden was stunned into silence and forced a Celtics timeout. It was a slow start from the Warriors as the Celtics leapt out to an early lead, as Curry also picked up his first personal foul in the opening two minutes.

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.

The inaugural HBCU Fellowship program helps 60 interns learn the ins and outs of life in the front office of NBA and WNBA teams.

It’s very important for these young men and women to be put in rooms that they wouldn’t normally be put in, to be uncomfortable — that creates more opportunities to grow. I’m thankful for the partnership the NBA has with the HBCUs and how we can inspire, but also provide them with internship opportunities. “I’m proud to welcome the first HBCU Fellowship class, thousands of applicants, a truly competitive process, but you made it,” Stuart said. This feeling of excitement was shared by the NBA x HBCU Fellowship directors. Young, eager and ready for the challenges ahead, these students are now in the league — a dream many kids have when they first dribble a basketball at a young age. The students will go on to work in different positions within the league office or directly with an NBA or WNBA franchise.

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.

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.

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.

The Celtics looked more composed speed and pace wise, particularly in the first half, but were prone to turnovers. But as a three-time NBA champion coach, Kerr has been in difficult situations before and he backed his judgement by making big calls at the right times. It worked as the Warriors fought from behind to take the lead and never relinquished it. The Warriors had various aspects they were looking to improve on coming in and they ticked every box. But Boston, despite some big plays from that pair and from Robert Williams III on the defensive end, did not have enough. Andrew Wiggins pulled down the most boards of his career, 16 of them, to go with 17 points.

Stephen Curry's 43-point masterpiece in Game Four of the NBA Finals on Friday left his Warriors teammates, his coaches and basketball fans everywhere in awe ...

"I don't rank my performances," Curry said. His conditioning is second to none in this league. Advertisement

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.

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.

Steph Curry was a man on a mission and his NBA peers were in awe of the show he put on in Game 4 on Friday night.

Curry and the Warriors wrestled home-court advantage back from the Celtics and now head home for Game 5 on Monday night at Chase Center. Curry has been the best player through four games of the NBA Finals, and a few more next week might secure the fourth title in eight years for the Warriors. With the Warriors' season effectively on the line in Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals on Friday night at TD Garden, Curry authored one of the most iconic performances of his career, helping the Warriors beat the Boston Celtics 107-97 to send the series back to Chase Center tied two-games apiece.

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 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.

The doting dads of the Boston Celtics outwardly showing affection for their sons on the NBA Finals stage may represent a moment of progress.

“All I see is Black fathers," she said. Whether it’s Jayson Tatum’s son Deuce, Al Horford’s son Ean or Derrick White’s son Hendrix – whose arrival last month forced his dad to miss a playoff game – attentive, always-present fathers are as common in the Celtics workplace culture as a three-point field goal. The doting dads of the Boston Celtics outwardly showing affection for their sons on the NBA Finals stage may represent a moment of progress to a societal ill once highlighted by then-presidential candidate Barak Obama.

Game 4 infuriated Celtics fans, but that's the beauty of the series: For all the mistakes, they're still two wins from banner No. 18.

And either win the NBA title there or take care of business in Game 6 at the Garden, as the Celtics did to the Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals. It’s infuriating if you’re a Celtics fan, which makes one imagine the thunder and lightning going inside Udoka’s head when things don’t go right. Marcus Smart was asked about Tatum’s rough night and if perhaps he and some of the fellas have talked with him. Not on purpose. Not on purpose. Instead, he submitted his usual array of lovely shots, including the customary precision treys, but also a one-handed feather duster from in close. “Everybody was just kind of standing around, looking at whoever had the ball. Nobody’s ever going to compare the 2021-22 Warriors and the ’21-22 Celtics with, say, the 1995-96 Bulls, the ’70-71 Bucks and the ’85-86 Celtics. We trust in you, we believe in you.’ ” The flaws we’ve seen in this series are many, and on both sides, but they have somehow humanized a superhuman sport. But that’s not the point. The easiest way to answer the question is to pose this question: Are these great teams?

As the offseason rolls on, keep up with all news as it relates to the Dallas Mavericks right here with our DallasBasketball.com NBA Tracker.

According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, the Mavs are planning to retain a couple of key bench presence and locker room guys. According to Forbes, James has become the first-ever active NBA player to become a billionaire. The same can be said for Theo Pinson, who scored a season-high 16 points in Dallas’ regular-season finale win against the San Antonio Spurs. Although Dallas already has Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie on the roster, it never hurts to have another seasoned secondary distributor… The Oregon-based Knight, 84, has an estimated personal worth of $60 billion and would reportedly plan to keep the Blazers in Portland. With the NBA Draft just a little over two weeks away, the Dallas Mavericks have started the process of bringing in prospects for workouts. LeBron James has no shortage of NBA accolades — both on and off the court. Kokoskov coached superstar Luka Doncic with the Slovenian national team in 2017, so it was a natural fit. Sometimes it's about taking the best talent available over taking someone just for a positional need. Hardy appeared in 12 games for the Ignite last season, averaging 17.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 32.2 minutes per game. Curry's status was in question after his left foot was rolled up on by Celtics forward Al Horford in the fourth quarter of Game 3. "And then for us to come out and do what we did and go home, that five-and-a-half hour flight got a little better after tonight."

As Curry erupted for 14 points in the third quarter of Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics on Friday, James took to Twitter.

Curry authored an all-time performance in Game 4, and now he, Kerr and the Warriors are two wins away from a fourth NBA title in eight seasons.

They snatched back home-court advantage from the Celtics and will look to take a three-games-to-two lead on Monday in Game 5 at Chase Center. Curry has transformed the franchise from perpetually NBA draft lottery-bound to the shining beacon on the mountaintop of the league. He scored a game-high 43 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while dealing with a left foot injury.

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.

“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.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics 1107-97 in Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals on Wednesday to even this series up at 2-2 heading back to ...

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 Celtics’ inconsistency on the offensive-end of the floor has hurt them at times in this series and it especially hurt them in Game 4, a game in which Boston could have taken. 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.
