With just over three minutes remaining in the first quarter, Curry drove past Celtics center Al Horford to the basket. Horford scrambled to catch up while three Boston defenders swarmed to his assistance.

Steph dished the basketball to Looney, who slammed it home with two hands to trim Boston's lead to three points. Golden State would finish the first quarter ahead 31-30, with Curry chipping in 10 points.
