Curry faces roadblock as Celtics take Game 3

The finals between the Warriors and the Celtics are well and truly underway with 3 games already done. The Celtics have taken a 2-1 lead with the latest 116-110 win.

This was another 4th quarter masterclass from Boston with Jaylen Brown scoring 27 points. He was assisted by Jayson Tatum who scored 26 and Marcus Smart, who added 24 points. 

Stephen Curry went down late into the 4th quarter looking in pain as the coach immediately took him off the field and the injury status regarding the former MVP is yet to be known. Despite his injury scare, Curry was sensational as usual, with 31 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists.
