Steph Curry has played well during the third quarter of every NBA Finals game so far, and that continued on Friday in Golden State’s 107-97 win in Game 4 over the Boston Celtics.
The two-time MVP scored 14 points in the third quarter, and had 33 points and six three-pointers in total entering the fourth quarter (Curry finished with 43 points). He scored 15 in the third quarter of Game 3 on Wednesday. LeBron James was one of many who were impressed with Curry’s efforts.
“Chef is INSANE!!!” James wrote on Twitter during the third quarter.

Though they play for rival teams, James has long been a fan of Curry’s, even going back to college.
