It was a good day for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. This is after the Dubs secured a huge statement win against the defending champions, Boston Celtics, at the TD Garden, 118-112.
The Warriors entered this game on a four-game winning streak, and they had no intention of seeing this come to an end in Boston. The Celtics, on the other hand, suffered their first loss in four games and just their second this season.
For his part, Curry went off in this one to lead Golden State to victory. The former back-to-back NBA MVP scored a team-high 27 points on 8-of-17 shooting, to go along with seven boards, nine assists, four steals, a block and four triples in 34 minutes of action.

As Curry headed to the locker room shortly after the win, the Warriors point guard dropped a cold two-word reaction upon taking down the Celtics on their own home floor.
“Always good,” Curry responded when asked if it felt good to win in Boston.
Curry and Co. are now 7-1 on the season after this win, in a three-way tie on top of the Western Conference after the Phoenix Suns defeated the Miami Heat and Oklahoma Thunder getting their first loss from Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
The Warriors have a couple of tough tests coming up as they battle the league-best Cleveland Cavaliers (9-0) on Friday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, followed by another road game against the Thunder on Sunday.
That game in Oklahoma City will be the last of Golden State’s five-game road trip. They are currently two wins away from potentially returning home from a perfect 5-0 road stand.
