Steph Curry's Celtics dominance backed up by stunning career stats – NBC Sports Bay Area and California

Steph Curry's dominance over the Boston Celtics has reached a new level.

After another offensive outburst in the Warriors' 118-112 win on Wednesday night, Curry's 25.3 PPG average against Boston is the highest by a point guard in NBA history.

The stat is mind-boggling for several reasons, most notably because Curry's dominance against the Celtics is even greater than that of Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson.

The 36-year-old looks rejuvenated after winning a gold medal with Team USA at the Paris Olympics. Despite being hampered by a minor ankle injury, Curry has been electric since his return, averaging 25.5 PPG over the last two games.

The Warriors faced a strong Celtics team on home soil and took the win with Curry leading by 27 points in the final stages of the game. The impressive finish means Golden State is 7-1 this season and in first place in the Western Conference.

With the franchise off to its best start since the 2021-2022 season, the spirits are back for a team that has struggled with consistency since winning the 2022 NBA Finals. The biggest test lies ahead when Golden State heads to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland to face the undefeated Cavaliers on Friday.

With a young and talented core coached by former Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson, the Cavaliers had the best record in the league to start the season.

But don't discount Curry and the rest of Golden State. With a stifling defense and a dazzling offense, Golden State appears primed to be one of the best teams in the Western Conference once again.
