Stephen Curry amassed 27 points, nine assists and seven rebounds to help the visiting Golden State Warriors stretch their winning streak to five games with a 118-112 victory over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.

The Warriors trailed by seven in the middle of the fourth quarter but used an 16-4 run to take a 104-99 lead with 2:30 to play on a Curry layup. Boston pulled within 115-112 when Payton Prichard made three free throws with 16 seconds remaining, but the Warriors closed out the win by making 3 of 4 at the foul line the rest of the way.

Golden State, which improved to 5-0 on the road, made 12 of its 13 free-throw attempts in the final quarter.

Buddy Hield and Andrew Wiggins each added 16 points for Golden State.

Jayson Tatum scored a game-high 32 points for the Celtics, whose three-game winning streak ended. Tatum has been the leading scorer in seven of Boston's nine games.

Derrick White made seven 3-pointers and added 26 points, and Pritchard finished with 16 points.

The Warriors have won seven of their eight games, which is the team's best start to a season since they won 11 of their first 12 games in 2021-22.

The Celtics were without forward Jaylen Brown, who has not played in the past three games because of a hip flexor strain. Brown is averaging 25.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season.

Boston led 24-19 after one quarter, but Golden State closed the first half with a 9-0 run and led 51-40 at halftime. The Celtics shot 35.1 percent from the field (13 of 37) in the half, and they missed 14 of their 20 3-point attempts.

Tatum scored 17 points in the third quarter, when the Celtics put up 41. Boston was within 82-81 entering the fourth.

The Celtics took their first lead in the second half when White made a 3-pointer for an 85-84 advantage with 10:19 to play. Another White 3-pointer extended Boston's edge to 95-88 with 6:46 remaining, but the Warriors got within 97-96 on a Curry 3-pointer with 4:56 left.
