Getting off to a bad start against Boston this Tuesday, the Warriors can thank Stephen Curry for his heroic acts which ultimately gave them victory (132-126). They also owe a debt to an opposing star for his provocation towards the Chef.
Steph Curry Has Already Made His Game 4 Status Clear


No one had to give much of their skin in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Then led by 17 points by Boston, the Warriors could also fear losing Stephen Curry before the end of the match. The latter in fact received his 5th foul of the game with more than 18 minutes still to play in regulation time. All on a layup from Jaylen Brown, who took the liberty of teasing him:

Standing at 1m98, Brown easily established himself in the post against Curry. He was therefore happy to point out his small size to her during her celebration. A gesture that is increasingly common on NBA courts… but which ended up costing the star winger and his team dearly. His target was able to avoid the whistles for the rest of the match… and carried the Warriors to victory with some high-class actions:

Can Steph Curry’s resounding awakening at the end of the match against Boston be attributed to the mockery he suffered from Jaylen Brown? In any case, this is the interpretation given by several fans following such a turnaround.
