After a major setback in their house, the Warriors got their revenge on Boston. They put on a clinic in Game 2 to even up the finals at 1 apiece. Unsurprisingly, it was Stephen Curry once again who shined with his heroics. Leading the team from the front, he torched the Celtics forces with his shooting display. While hot, Curry hit a ridiculous shot over two defenders which left the entire NBA fan base speechless.

Making his sixth final in just 8 years, Curry is not new to the big stage. However, a constant argument held against him is not winning the Finals MVP even once. The greatest shooter of all time has been an irreplaceable piece in all the Warriors’ finals runs. However, not having that trophy has drawn out major criticism from analysts. And it seems the Baby Face Assassin has bottled it all up as he checked into another NBA finals.

Checking into Game 2, Stephen Curry did not miss a beat from his effort a few nights ago. He put on a show all b himself as he went off for 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals against the best defense in the league. While both sides struggled to make shots, for Curry it was a piece of cake. After a silent run, Poole bounced back with a well-composed 17-point night. Draymond Green had his staple game contributing 9 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists to the mix. With the series all even, the Warriors will have to win either one of the games in Boston to take an upper hand in this series.

The stars of Game 1 surely looked exhausted as Jayson Tatum was left alone. The Celtics Al-Star scored a team-high 28 points to go with 6 rebounds and 3 assists. However, that was the only highlight for Boston as only two players crossed the 15-point mark. After his crucial performance in Game 1’s comeback, Brown was not feeling it tonight. He scored just 17 points while shooting 5-17 from the field. The remaining Celtics starters combined for just 6 points for the entire game as they were exposed by a tough Warriors defense.
