NBA FINALS

Curry stars as Warriors down Celtics to level series

Stephen Curry scored 29 points as the Golden State Warriors roared back into NBA Finals contention on Sunday with a series-leveling 107-88 game two victory over the Boston Celtics.

Curry spearheaded a deadly display of Golden State shooting while a superb Warriors defensive effort shut down Boston's key offensive weapons.

The Warriors, who squandered a 12-point fourth quarter lead in game one, were in no mood to allow lightning to strike twice on Sunday as they built a double-digit advantage in the third quarter before cutting loose to tie the best-of-seven series at 1-1.

Game three of the series takes place in Boston on Wednesday.
