Golden State bounced back from a third-quarter Boston run to take control of the fourth and register a 104-94 win, taking a 3-2 series lead over the Celtics. They did so with Curry failing to connect on a single 3-pointer.
Curry finished Game 5 with 16 points, eight assists and three rebounds while shooting 7 of 22 from the field and 0 for 9 from 3-point distance.
Prior to Monday, Curry played in 132 career playoff games while winning three NBA championships and making it to six NBA Finals. In each of those games, he connected on at least one 3-point shot.
