Stephen Curry played the entirety of the fourth quarter and overtime with five fouls. The Warriors guard finished the contest with a game-high 33 points.

Jaylen Brown, who registered 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists in the loss, shared his perspective on the Celtics’ struggles to take advantage of Curry’s foul trouble.

"I felt like if we would've just played instead of looking around, maybe we would've been able to attack but we were trying to put him in certain actions."
