Golden State has had plenty of time to rest and study the game film that Boston has provided with their 7 game series. That will give the Golden State Warriors a good chance to pull out the win in this game here as the Warriors are rested and in the last game Golden State did amazing from the shooting on the field. Boston does have a good defense, but even with a good defense it will be very difficult to keep Curry and company in check.
