Curry entered game four with doubts about his health after suffering a foot injury in the Warriors’ loss in game three on Wednesday.

With Monday’s game five in San Francisco, the 34-year-old two-time NBA Most Valuable Player definitively dispelled any lingering doubts about his condition. He single-handedly propelled Golden State back into the NBA Finals.

Curry scored 43 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out four assists on a night when Golden State again battled to find an offensive rhythm against a potent Boston lineup.

Klay Thompson contributed 18 points for the Warriors, while Andrew Wiggins made a significant contribution with 17 points and 16 rebounds. Bench player Jordan Poole added 14 points.

“A lot of pride in our group, a lot of talk over the last 48 hours about how we can get back into this series,” said Curry.

“It’s crazy because I still feel we can play a little bit better. But to win on the road and get the home-court advantage back, is big for this group. We’ve been here six times, we’ve got a lot of experience of staying confident and composed.

“I’m just thankful for everyone on our team because we brought a lot of toughness and physicality tonight.

“We knew how big this game was. For us to come out and do what we did and go home. That five-and-a-half-hour flight home got a little better after tonight.”

Game 5 will be played on June 14 at Chase Center.
