The Golden State Warriors faced the Boston Celtics, and Stephen Curry struck in the last moments to snatch victory from the jaws of his opponents. Warriors posted a 132-126 win after trailing in the third quarter. The epic battle followed a dismal outing for Steph Curry in the last match when he snapped his grand 3-pointer streak.

Jaylen did well for the Celtics in the third quarter before he decided to settle scores of the past. He did that in style before the Warriors legend roared back with his performance and the tongue.
