Steph Curry confirms he'll play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals despite suffering injury
Steph Curry was left writhing in pain in the fourth quarter of Game 3 after Boston Celtics centre Al Horford landed on his leg.
The Warriors were down by four heading into the fourth quarter, and were preparing to chase the game with the series tied at 1-1. But a serious injury to Steph Curry left them without their star player.
The Celtics went on to win 116-100 to take a 2-1 lead in the series, and any chance of the Warriors mounting a comeback seemed to rest on the fitness of Curry.
Stephen has now made 5+ threes in all three games of the #NBAFinals

There's no one more crucial to the Warriors' chance of turning this series around, so a collective sigh of relief was likely taken around California when Curry delivered the positive news.
