After a major setback in their house, the Golden State Warriors got their revenge against the Boston Celtics. They put on a clinic in Game 2 to even up the NBA Finals at one game apiece. Unsurprisingly, it was Stephen Curry once again who shined with his heroics.

Leading the team from the front, he torched the Celtics 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 eight years, Curry is not new to the big stage. However, a constant argument held against him is not winning the Finals MVP even once. Considered to be one of the greatest shooters of all time, Curry has been an irreplaceable piece in all of the Warriors’ Finals runs.

Curry has hit some unbelievable shots in his career so far. With a deep range and an ability to make the shot better than almost anyone else, nothing seems to look tough for Curry. However, in the third quarter, he had fans going crazy.

All it took was one dribble and some space for the Chef to cook. He launched up a three over two Celtics defenders and had the arena erupt. In addition. his triple was a game-changer dropping the hopes of a potential Celtics comeback.

Likewise, Twitter went mental looking at Steph being an absolute hack in Game 2. However, that was only a part of his impact tonight. After dropping a game they should have won only a few nights before, Steph wasn’t letting this one go in the fourth quarter.

Checking into Game 2, Stephen Curry did not miss a beat from his effort a few nights ago. He put on a show all by 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 looked like it was a piece of cake.

After a silent run, Jordan 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 All-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, Jaylen 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.
