It didn’t take long for Steph Curry to channel his NBA Finals MVP form on Saturday night in a regular season rematch against the Boston Celtics at San Francisco’s Chase Center.
Coming off a stunning loss against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, the Warriors didn’t waste any time going to work against the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics. Klay Thompson started off the game hot with 12 points in the first quarter to give the Warriors an eight-point lead in the first quarter.
After Thompson fueled the early lead, Steph Curry put an exclamation mark on Golden State’s impressive start to the contest at the buzzer before the end of the first quarter.
