NBA Finals: Ranking the 10 Greatest Performances of the Warriors-Cavs Rivalry

#9 Stephen Curry - Game 4 of the 2018 NBA Finals

Steph Curry breaks Finals record with 9 three pointers

Stat line: 33 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history and this game proved just that.

Nobody can open up a defense the second they cross half-court like he does. In Game 2 of the NBA Finals, he showed everybody why his jumper is so feared by opposing defenses.

The Warriors were up by 10 points to start the 4th quarter and then Curry just buried Cleveland in a barrage of three-pointers that not only saw him hit one ridiculous shot after another but also set an NBA Finals record. Curry hit a total of 9 three-pointers in the game, but none were like this one.

With the shot clock winding down, and the Warriors just trying to get a shot up, Curry threw up a prayer. For anybody else, this is just an attempt to get the ball near the rim. For Curry, it's a legitimate shot attempt, because we have seen him hit shots like these hundreds of times now.
