NBA Twitter Torches Stephen Curry as He Disappears in 4th Quarter During Embarrassing Warriors Loss

The NBA Finals are finally here and Game 1 of the Finals was absolutely thrilling. The Golden State Warriors hosted the Boston Celtics, playing in yet another Finals series. Going into Game 1, the Warriors were the favorites, though it didn’t go so well for them.

The game was pretty intense and no one expected such a performance in the fourth quarter.

The Warriors were down two going into the second half, but they would dominate in the third to go up by 12, as the game then seemed to be in the Dubs’ hands. But the Celtics weren’t going to give up so easily, as they outscored the Warriors 40-16 in the fourth, taking the game by 12 points.

The best scorer on the floor, Steph Curry did all that he could.

The Warriors scored only 16 points in the fourth, while everyone expected them to finish strong. On the Celtics roster, Al Horford and Jaylen Brown showed up big time. Fans on Twitter were upset by Curry’s 4 point performance in the fourth.

Not only that but Curry had 21 points in the first quarter itself. The scoring drought from Steph did affect the team even though Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson tried to balance it out. Celtics’ Brown and Horford finished the game with 50 combined points. Whereas Steph and Wiggins combined for 54 points.

It was clear in this game that it was all about the momentum that had shifted in the Celtics’ favor. Apart from a comeback from Boston, both teams set an NBA record for most three-pointers combined.
