That might do it. Curry gets his fourth foul and Smart get 3 free throws. And now Curry becomes a target again because he’s staying on the floor. – 10:31 PM

Kerr has been desperate to find a suitable 5th to play with to mesh tonight with Curry/Klay/Dray/Wiggins. He’s had mixed results with Looney, Porter, Poole, and Payton. Curious to see if he tries Kuminga or Moody for a few minutes to add some athleticism to that group – 10:17 PM

Similarly, Curry picked up his third foul with 4:05 left in the first half of Game 2 vs. Dallas. Like that night, Kerr decides to leave Curry in the game. Against the Mavs, Curry scored 7 points the rest of the half to pull Warriors within 14 points entering the third. – 10:05 PM

THAT play by Andrew Wiggins shows how much he’s matured. Went in for an uncontested dunk on the possession before. Takes a live ball turnover in the open floor with a chance to do it again but pitches to Curry on the wing for a wide open catch and shoot transition 3 – 10:00 PM

That play proved how valuable Derrick White is for the Celtics. He guarded Curry’s 3-point on transition and then he contested Gary Payton’s II dunk and fouled him. Great effort! #NBAFinals – 9:34 PM

Celtics 10-of-15 shooting early. Warriors went to zone, presumably to protect Steph Curry from his third first quarter foul, and Boston made a few simple passes to cut right through it. No defensive answers early for Warriors. – 9:27 PM

Steve Kerr was trying to get the Warriors to dribble up and call a timeout the last time down. But Curry put his head down and forced his way to the rim. But after another easy basket by the Celtics, he didn’t wait for the Warriors to bring it up. – 9:26 PM

Curry stays in and we see the impact already. Horford gets the cross match in the post and the scram switch to get Otto Porter on him is late. Horford gets a fairly easy finish – 9:24 PM

Kerr is keeping Curry in there with his second foul, so will the Celtics continue to target him on every possession knowing Kerr installed an adjustment in that last time out? – 9:23 PM

No pun intended but Smart is sooo smart. Payton got caught cheating up after Curry got switched onto Tatum and Smart dropped into the open area on the diagonal block for an easy two – 9:20 PM
