Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut believes that criticism of his game in the first two matches of the NBA Finals has motivated Stephen Curry to produce his best form.
The league MVP struggled to match his form from the regular season against the Cleveland Cavaliers as he was well marked by Matthew Dellavedova.
However, Curry has scored 49 points in their last two games of the Finals to help his side tie the series at 2-2 going into game five.
"People have lit a fire under Steph, which is good thing," Bogut told the Northeast Ohio Media Group.
"It's something that you don't want to do. It worked out well. We know Delly is a great defender, but we know he's not a Curry stopper."
Game five of the series takes place later today at Oracle Arena.
