At halftime Curry’s 19 points kept Golden State in the game, trailing 54–49 after two quarters. He then came out of half on fire with 14 in the third quarter alone, propelling the Warriors to a second-half surge that ultimately made the difference.
It is Curry’s 13th Finals game with 30 or more points, tying Kobe Bryant for eighth all-time.
