For Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics was the real turning point of the series. After all, it is the game when Stephen Curry unleashed his whole arsenal to help the Dubs tie things up at 2-2.

Speaking on The TK Show with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic, Kerr reflected on the pivotal moment and how it impacted the rest of the series. Curry was sensational in the contest with 43 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, leading the Warriors to the 107-97 victory. According to the Warriors coach, the momentum shifted after that.

“It was Game 4 in Boston. Down 2-1, Celtics have a 5-point lead in the 4th quarter and Steph just has one of his greatest games of his career to put us on his back. That was the key. Because we took over the series from there,” Kerr explained.

True enough, Boston looked to be on their way to victory in the game, leading 91-86 with a little over seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter. However, Stephen Curry wouldn't allow that and kept on attacking the Celtics' defense.

Curry scored 10 points in that span, allowing the Warriors to run away with the victory. After that epic performance from Steph and shocking collapse from the Celtics, the Warriors never lost again as they closed out the series in Game 6.

The 34-year-old Curry played really well throughout the Finals–putting no doubt about his Finals MVP win–but as Steve Kerr said it, that Game 4 display was monumental and perhaps the most important of the series.
