Curry managed to post a game-high 38 points in the thrilling double-overtime win over the Celtics at TD Garden, but Bradley and his teammates consistently ruffled the league’s reigning MVP. Curry shot a season-low 33 percent from the field, missed 18 shots (9-of-27) and turned the ball over a season-high eight times in 47 minutes.
