"It's crazy because I still feel we can play a little bit better. But to win on the road and get the home-court advantage back, is big for this group. We've been here six times, we've got a lot of experience of staying confident and composed," Curry said.

The Celtics were hoping to get a match point in the finals, and they led by five points at halftime. But the Warriors rallied in the second half to lead 79-78 after three quarters.

The game heated up in the fourth quarter as the Celtics hit consecutive baskets to take a four-point lead. The Warriors responded with a 10-0 run when Curry made five of six free throws in the clutch to seal the win.

"This is a tough series for him to score because of Boston's size and athleticism, but he's still impacting the game at a huge level," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said about Curry.
