Coach Steve Kerr made the tough calls, such as pulling likely Hall of Famer Draymond Green for the pivotal fourth-quarter run.<\/p>\n<p>And Golden State came from behind in that fateful final period, erasing a five-point deficit to wrest home-court advantage back from Boston.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe heart on that man is incredible,\u201d Klay Thompson said of Curry.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t Curry heart that was in question, but his left foot.<\/p>\n<p>When Curry had been screaming during the fourth quarter of the Warriors\u2019 loss Wednesday in Game 3, it was from pain after his left leg was rolled on. But on Friday his bellows were victorious roars. He was unusually demonstrative as he gutted his way to 43 points, 10 rebounds, seven 3-pointers and one MVP-worthy effort to carry his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFelt like we just had to let everybody know that we were here: Whether that\u2019s their crowd, their team, our team, whoever wants to see that energy and that fire, we feed off of that. Yeah, I think it helped us,\u201d Curry said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-2-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Stephen Curry, who scored 43 points, celebrates during the Warriors' 107-97 Game 4 win over the Celtics.\" class=\"wp-image-22621382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Stephen Curry, who scored 43 points, celebrates during the Warriors\u2019 107-97 Game 4 win over the Celtics.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHe wasn\u2019t letting us lose. That\u2019s what it boils down to. You hear all the noise for a day or so, and I could tell in his demeanor the last couple days, even after Game 3, that he was going to come out with that type of fire. He did, and we were all able to follow it,\u201d Green said of Curry.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIncredible. Put us on his back. Willed us to win, much-needed win, game we had to have. Came out and showed why he\u2019s one of the best players to ever play this game. \u2026 [He\u2019s] one of the most resilient, toughest guys I\u2019ve ever played with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors needed every iota of what Curry gave them, coming into the night trailing 2-1 and locked in a nailbiter with 10 ties and 11 lead changes. He provided the last one: Golden State was down 94-92 before he found Thompson for a go-ahead 3, then hit a driving floater and finally a step-back 3-pointer for a 100-94 cushion.<\/p>\n<p>Facing a must-win game and the league\u2019s best defense, the Warriors showed toughness. Even Kerr, who couldn\u2019t hit a shot or grab a rebound, made the tough decisions.<\/p>\n<p>First he benched Kevon Looney from the start for Otto Porter, trying to open up space for Curry. And after Green\u2019s ongoing struggles continued, Kerr pulled the three-time champ with 7:32 to play and Marcus Smart on the line ready to give Boston a 91-86 lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand it\u2019s just about winning. At the end of the day, all decisions are predicated on that being the goal,\u201d Curry said. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve all been on the side where it doesn\u2019t go your way, from the top all the way to the bottom. It\u2019s not fun. It\u2019s not something you readily accept. But you understand the big picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-3.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Stephen Curry goes up for a layup during the Warriors' Game 4 victory.\" class=\"wp-image-22621383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Stephen-Curry-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Stephen Curry goes up for a layup during the Warriors\u2019 Game 4 victory.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The big picture is winning.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely ripped off an 11-3 run before Green finally returned with 3:41 left. And he spent the rest of the night tag-teaming with Looney, going offense-defense the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m definitely never thrilled coming out of the game with seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter in a must-win game. I\u2019m not going to sit here and act like I was thrilled. I\u2019m a competitor,\u201d Green admitted. \u201cBut at the end of the day, if that\u2019s what coach decides, then you roll with it. I had to keep my head in the game, and whenever I went back in, try to make some plays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green finished with two points on 1-for-7 shooting, and a plus-0.<\/p>\n<p>Looney repaid Kerr\u2019s tough decision with six points, 11 boards and a game-high plus-21.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, this is a tough <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> for him to score because of Boston\u2019s size and athleticism, but he\u2019s still impacting the game at a huge level. And he knows we\u2019re going to do whatever it takes to win,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cAnd whatever it takes in Game 5, that\u2019s what we\u2019ll do, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whatever it takes.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
