BOSTON — Stephen Curry produced the most awkward sounds of the night, one during which TD Garden wanted and walked away with a critical pound of flesh in the NBA Finals.
First, the silence in the building when he became the Boston Celtics’ worst nightmare as he dragged his Golden State Warriors back from the brink with triple after triple in yet another third-quarter barrage.
Secondly, the yell when Al Horford dropped his weight and landed on Curry’s foot during a loose-ball situation — the Warriors’ worst nightmare.
Any limp wasn’t conspicuous in the direct aftermath of his team’s 116-100 Game 3 loss to the Celtics, but adrenaline can always smother what a night’s sleep cannot.
