After a red-hot performance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, Steph Curry uncharacteristically struggled to find his jumper in Game 5 against the Boston Celtics on Monday night.

Curry tallied only 16 points on 7-of-22 shooting from the field with a surprising 0-of-9 from long distance. However, with Curry going ice cold, Andrew Wiggins heated up.

The former No. 1 overall pick put together his second consecutive double-double performance against the Celtics. Wiggins led the Warriors in scoring and rebounding with 26 points on 12-of-23 shooting from the floor with 13 boards. The Kansas product added two assists, a steal and a block in 43 minutes.

Along with scoring and clashing the glass, Wiggins provided pestering defense against Boston’s Jayson Tatum up and down the court.
