SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry led Golden State to another electric third quarter outburst Sunday night in front of a sold-out Chase Center crowd. But unlike their embarrassing collapse in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Warriors held strong and fended off the Celtics in Game 2 for a 107-88 win.
Curry scored 14 of his 29 points in the third, helping the Warriors outscore the Celtics 35-14 to take a 23-point lead heading into the final 12 minutes.
After coughing up a double-digit fourth quarter lead in Game 1 in an epic fourth quarter meltdown, the Warriors were able to sustain their third quarter momentum on Sunday, cruising throughout a comfortable fourth to tie the series 1-1.
