SAN FRANCISCO — Steph Curry hit the dagger rainbow 3-pointer in overtime
to give the underdog Warriors a thrilling 132-126 win over the Boston
Celtics on Tuesday night at Chase Center. The Warriors have won three
straight and move to 13-14 on the year.

The Warriors closed a tense fourth quarter and overtime with Curry, Klay
Thompson, Chris Paul, Jonathan Kuminga and rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Jackson-Davis had his first double-double with 13 rebounds and 10 points
in 28 minutes. He also had a key block in overtime, flying into the
paint to deflect Jaylen Brown’s layup and preserve a four-point lead
with 2:20 remaining. Jackson-Davis was a team-best plus-25.

Curry had six points in overtime and finished with 33 points overall
shooting 6-of-11 from 3. He played in some foul trouble having three
called against him by halftime. Jaylen Brown went at Curry plenty to
start the second half, resulting in Curry’s fifth personal foul with six
minutes remaining in the third quarter. That brought Cory Joseph off the
bench in Curry’s place with the Celtics up 13.

Curry returned to start the fourth quarter and didn’t draw a foul for
the remaining 23 minutes, inspiring the fourth-quarter comeback. The
Celtics led by as many as 17 in the third quarter. Thompson finished
with 24 points with six 3s and Kuminga had 17 points and seven rebounds.

The Warriors continue this three-game homestand on Friday, when they
welcome Jordan Poole back to town with the Washington Wizards. Then the
Portland Trail Blazers visit before Golden State departs for Denver to
play the Nuggets on Christmas.
