He now has 10 straight games with 30plus points scoring streak under his belt.

The match between the Celtics and the Warriors was one of the best matches recorded this season.

As the match had lots of great plays, epic duel, along with Stephen’s record-breaking shooting stretch.

Tim Legler, a former American Basketball player who played professional basketball for the teams including GSW said:

“Warriors vs Celtics match was one of the most entertaining games this season” in his interview for ESPN.

Epic Duel between Celtic’s Jayson Tatum and GSW’s Stephen Curry.

One of the highlights of the match between the Celtics and GSW was the dramatic and epic duel between two-star players of each team.

Celtics’s Jayson Tatum dueled GSW Stephen Curry for the win.

Jayson Tatum scored a total of 44 points on 16-of-25 shooting and 5-of-9 from the three-point range.

Meanwhile, Stephen dropped 47 points on the 15-of-27 shooting from the field and 11-of-19 from the three-point range.

Curry and Jayson both got off to an incredible start against each other with both dropping 20 plus points each.

As the 1st half ended, Stephen already scored 22 points meanwhile Jayson scored 23 points.

But in the end, Jayson lost his personal duel against Stephen as he scored 3 points less than Stephen.

However, the final battle between the two teams ended with the Celtics taking the lead by five points 119-114.

Since Tatum scored a driving hoop to break a tie with 48.8 seconds left and  Kemba Walker delivered a 3-pointer with 24 seconds to end the game.

As a result, the Celtics recorded their sixth straight win.

“He’s incredible,” Walker said of GSW’s Stephen. “He can score with the best of them.

He’s making the right plays out there. He was unbelievable. We needed every bucket he had tonight.”

“It took everything,” said Walker.  “It was a hard-fought game. We knew it was going to be tough. These guys are playing so well.

Stephen Curry said of Jayson Tatum,” Jayson Tatum is a supreme talent; the game has slowed down for him.

Obviously, they’ve got one of the best players in the world. He’s incredible.”

Meanwhile, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, “This was a real NBA game,”.

“I told them how proud I was, the level of competition and the battle, it was phenomenal to watch.”

Stephen Curry‘s historic stretch continued.

These past ten games Stephen is catching fire with scoring 30 plus points for 10 straight games.

He ties with Kobe Bryant’s for the 10 consecutive games 30 plus points for a player aged 33 or older.

Similarly, he also becomes the 2nd player in Warriors history with 10 straight 30 point games joining Wilt Chamberlain.

Stephen Curry has his seventh 40-point game of the season and his 45th career 40-point game.

He also recorded the most points in a 10 game span as he dropped 391 points. Following Stephen is Bernard King who dropped 372 in the 1990-91 season.

Likewise, Stephen Curry is the only player in NBA history to average 30 PPG with an Effective FG Percentage of 60%.

The last time he did it was his unanimous MVP season in 2015-16.

Stephen Curry started to trend as he made incredible “how did he make that shots?” and great plays.

We all know that Stephen Curry makes some impossible and ridiculous shot that goes in and we all become clueless about how it went in.

He did the same in tonight’s match against the Celtics.

Stephen showed some flashy moves on Boston forward Grant Williams inside the three-point line as he tried to guard Steph.

However, Stephen did his step-back move shooting a three-point shot with a quick pump fake while drawing contact in the process.

That ridiculous shot got in along with a foul call giving Curry a point advantage. 

The shot received praise from fellow NBA and NBA players including his former teammate Kevin Durant.

Kevin Durant who has seen Curry make such incredible shots both as a peer and as an opponent was also left amazed with Curry’s shot.

LA Lakers’ Kyle Kuzma was among the other player who was left surprised by the shot.

Draymond Green, Steph’s teammate who always has been the biggest supporter of Steph’s game was also left shocked with the shot.

He also made 11 three-pointers in the game and records his 20th 10 plus 3 pointer game.

Similarly, he hit 44 three-pointers making the most 3 pointers made in a 5-game span in NBA history.

Now he has made 36 threes and scored 175 points in four games.

Likewise, he is averaging 30.7 points per game in a 48.9 field goal with 42.2 percent from beyond the 3 point line.

Next for the Warriors

Despite Curry and the Warrior’s loss, the point guard continued to be one of the greatest entertainers in sports as he put on a show in Boston.

Becoming the talk of the town due to outstanding scoring and plays has outshined the loss they got.

 He twisted his left ankle and still stayed to play through the injury shows how much he loves to play.

But this might be bad news for the Warriors as he is needed in the court and injury might prevent that from happening.

But if he becomes available, his incredible plays will be one to watch as GSW faces his brother’s team Philadelphia Sixers next.
