With the series now tied at 2-2, it will be interesting to see how things boil down at the Chase Center on Monday. Steph has been firing on all cylinders, and if he continues playing the way he has, the Dubs will certainly have the upper hand.

The Warriors have led the third-quarter scoring in all games of the series so far. Curry has been key to this as he has shot brilliantly in that period, which has also helped his teammates get going.
His 3-point shooting has been on point in the series. The three-time champ is the first player to score five or more threes in four consecutive NBA Finals games.

Undoubtedly, this is one of his best finals campaigns, but the job is still not done. The series is at 2-2 and, from here on, it is for anyone to win.
Game 5 goes to the Chase Center, which will be a must-win game for the Dubs. They will need Curry to be at his best once again. Without him firing, it will be difficult for them to break down the Celtics.
