Steph Curry‘s game four in last year‘s NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics is one of the greatest Finals performances in NBA history. With the Warriors in danger of falling down 3-1, Curry put the team on his back in a hostile Boston environment.

Both teams understood the significance of that game, and it was the Warriors who had the best player on their side. Lifting his team to victory on the road, Curry evened the series at two wins a piece. Losing that game would have been close to a death blow for the Warriors, which is something Curry would not let happen. As Horford stated, the celebration in the Warriors locker room reflected that significance, as they understood the magnitude of what their star point guard just did.
