Stephen Curry knocks down half-court buzzer beater, ‘owns’ the Boston crowd
Even though tonight was just a regular-season matchup, it sure didn’t feel like it. Just like when the Celtics were at Chase Center, the Warriors coming to TD Garden made it a playoff atmosphere. The Boston crowd picked off right where they left off in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Well, if there is a loud crowd, more often than not, you can trust Stephen Curry to silence it. The Chef cooked up some magic and knocked down a buzzer-beater from behind the logo to end the first half.
It wasn’t just the big shot. Moreover, it was Steph yelling, “This is my town!” which would have the fans in splits. This just continued to build up on the dig he took at the Celtics during the ESPYs. In case you missed it, this is what happened at the ESPYs. Kevin Hart wanted Steph to start his speech by saying, “Proud Daddy of the Boston Celtics.”
