The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics will play a highly anticipated game on Wednesday evening. Not only is this game a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals, but it is also a battle between two of the best NBA teams to start the season. Golden State entered this game 6-1 through their first seven games, while Boston entered this game 7-1.

Jaylen Brown was ruled out before this match started, but there was still plenty of star power on both sides between Steph Curry, Jayson Tatum and others. Curry returned Monday against the Washington Wizards after a three-game absence due to injuries. Curry injured his ankle last week against the LA Clippers, has since recovered from that injury and is playing at a high level.

Entering the fourth quarter against the Celtics, Curry had recorded 17 points, seven assists and five rebounds. Curry closed the game with a strong fourth, finishing with 27 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.

In addition to his season-high in points, Curry made NBA history by rising to 30th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Since he wore number 30 his entire career, this was a somewhat symbolic milestone for the NBA’s all-time leader in three-pointers. With plenty of high-level basketball still to come, Curry will only continue to climb the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Golden State entered the fourth quarter with a one-point lead and eventually won 118-112. This game certainly lived up to the hype. The Celtics are the defending champions, so many expected them to be one of the NBA’s best teams this season, but Golden State came as a bit of a surprise.

Curry’s performance against the Celtics in the 2022 Finals was historic, as he took home his first Finals MVP award. The Warriors star always seems to play well in Boston.
