Super dealer Stephen Curry scored 43 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 107-97 win over the Boston Celtics on Friday and a 2-2 tie in the NBA Finals.

Golden State needed a TD Garden win to avoid a 3-1 loss in what could have been a seven-game final series, and Curry put in one of the best performances of his flourishing career to bolster his team’s hopes for a seventh. title in its history.

Doubts swirled around the distributor’s involvement after he was kicked in the leg during Wednesday’s third match loss.

But the 34-year-old has dispelled any doubts about his ability to carry his team on his shoulders by making up for an early defeat at home in this series and the lead on the ground is back in his favor as he hosts Game 5 on Monday in San Francisco.

The two-time best player in the league ended the game with 43 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists on a night when Golden State struggled on offense with a solid Boston lineup.

Clay Thompson added 18 points to the winner, Canadian Andrew Wiggins added 17 points and 16 rebounds, and substitute Jordan Paul added 14 points. In the loss, two stars Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown scored 23 and 21 respectively, while Marcus Smart added 18 and substitute Derek White added 16.
