As the Boston Celtics search for answers in an effort to stop Stephen Curry in the NBA finals, they know even their best defense won’t always be good enough. “Steph Curry is pretty good, if you guys haven’t noticed.
He can shoot the ball unbelievably,” Boston guard Jaylen Brown said on Sunday. “Even watching it, playing against it and even in the finals, I feel like he’s taking it up a notch a little bit.
He had a hell of a performance in Game 4, and we have to respond to that.” Whether the Celtics can do a better job containing the two-time MVP will be a major key as the best-of-seven series resumes at Chase Center on Monday night with the teams tied 2-2.
Celtics coach Ime Udoka is calling for his team to mix things up and be more physical on the heels of Curry’s 43-point masterpiece in the Warriors’ 107-97 victory Friday in Boston.
