The NBA Finals have produced 4 breathtaking games in the best of 7 series between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors (GSW). The final deciding game is yet to be played as the world got to witness the Warriors level the series in great style. GSW stepped into enemy territory to keep their dream alive and to level the series.

Warrior’s biggest star, Stephen Curry, definitely turned up at the right time and produced a remarkable career-best performance. Curry seemed to be firing on all cylinders as he never lifted his foot off the gas and continued to apply pressure.

He started his campaign against the Celtics with an impressive 3-pointer from the center area. From that point onwards, he displayed insane precision and accuracy by scoring 7-three-pointers. Not just that, he even managed to score a mammoth 10 rebounds and produced his career-best performance of 43 points.

The series now stands leveled, and it seems like Curry’s historic performance-inspired veteran UFC middleweight contender, Derek Brunson(23-8-0). He took to Twitter to praise the NBA star and even compared him with a legendary American Sniper.

The final score line (107-97) of Game 4 saw the Warriors cruising to a comfortable win. Both sides can snag the championship from under each other as there are still 3 more games to be played. This effectively makes the series the best of 3 as both sides have won 2 respective games. Seems like Brunson will have more chances to watch Curry produce an even better performance.

Derek Brunson still believes he has one more fight left in UFC

In his last outing against top middleweight fighter, Jared Cannonier (15-5) at UFC 271, Brunson suffered a brutal knockout loss. This marked the end of his amazing 5-win-streak that brought him to the cusp of fighting for the world title. His disappointing outing against Cannonier has closed that door indefinitely, but Brunson isn’t walking away from MMA just yet.
