The Warriors were on road for Game 3 and Game 4 of the finals in 2016. In Game 3, LeBron James and Kyrie combined for 62 points and the Warriors got blown out by 30 points. Curry struggled in the game but silenced the critics by answering back with a 'stephortless' performance in Game 4.

He scored 35 points on the night and went for 11-25 from the field with a field-goal percentage of 44.0. Curry was also terrific from the distance as he went for 7-13 from beyond the arc. The Cavaliers' head coach was left scratching his head as Curry kept drawing fouls at the rim. He was 9-10 from the free-throw line and had a monster performance.

Albeit the Cavaliers were in the game at half-time down by just 5 points, Curry took over in the third quarter and with scores tied at 69, he knocked down an open 3-pointer to give Warriors the lead. He tallied 11 points in the third quarter and the Warriors ran away with a huge win on the road and jumped out to a 3-1 lead.

Unfortunately for Golden State, the Cleveland Cavaliers went on to do something unbelievable. They stormed back from a 3-1 deficit and defeated the Warriors to win their first NBA championship in the franchise history. They also became the first team to make a successful comeback after being down 3-1 in the NBA Finals.
