SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry didn’t turn in another legendary performance like his 43-point, 10-rebound effort in the Warriors’ Game 4 victory on Friday.
But Golden State didn’t need that from Curry as a supporting cast led by Andrew Wiggins stepped up in major ways in a 104-94 win over the Celtics that gave the Warriors a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven NBA Finals.
Wiggins recorded his fifth postseason double-double, Klay Thompson made five 3-pointers and scored 21 points and Gary Payton II and Jordan Poole combined for 29 points off the bench to move the Warriors one win away from their fourth title in eight seasons.
