Veteran excels against Tatum in blockbuster victory over champs Celtics
-
BOSTON - Stephen Curry insisted that Golden State are taking "baby steps", as he outduelled Olympic teammate Jayson Tatum to help the Warriors extend their strong start to the National Basketball Association (NBA) season with a 118-112 road victory over the Boston Celtics on Nov 6.
The heavyweight clash had been billed as a chance for Tatum to make a point after being benched for multiple games by Golden State's Team USA coach Steve Kerr during August's gold-medal winning Paris Olympics campaign.
But, while Tatum impressed after coming alive in the second half to finish with a 32-point haul, it was Curry and the Warriors (7-1) who came away with a battling victory at the TD Garden.
"Like we always say, 'have each other's backs', and guys are stepping up and committing to it," said the Warriors point guard, who had 27 points and nine assists with seven rebounds and four steals.
