Stephen Curry and the Warriors have no problem playing on the road. The Celtics, meanwhile, haven’t been lights-out in Boston during these playoffs.

As the NBA Finals shift to TD Garden for Wednesday’s Game 3 with the series tied at 1, the Celtics ought to have the advantage, but recent numbers suggest otherwise. The Celtics are 5-4 at home and 8-3 on the road this postseason.

The Warriors, meanwhile, have won at least one away game in 26 consecutive playoff series.

“We always know how to find a way to win games no matter what style it is, high scoring, low scoring, defensive battle, shootout, whatever it is,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. “We find another level of grit and determination, just an ability to find a way to get it done. Being in hostile environments, you get tested, you get pushed. Our experience kind of shows at the right time.”

The previous 39 times teams have split the first two games of the Finals, the winner of Game 3 has gone on to win the series 82.1% of the time (32-7).

“I think just our playoff experience, our guys understand the importance of making sure you don’t let your guard down in that first (road) playoff game,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “We know they’re going to bring a level of physicality that we brought last game. We got to be prepared for that.”

The Warriors rediscovered their defensive toughness in their Game 2 win, limiting the Celtics to a playoff-low 88 points. They also forced the Celtics into 19 turnovers. The Celtics are 1-5 in these playoffs when they’ve had 16 turnovers or more; with 15 or fewer giveaways, the Celtics are 12-2.

“Unforced at times, but also over-penetrating. Have to have carryover and consistency in that area,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said. “That kind of tells a story.”

Guard Marcus Smart said the Celtics need to match the intensity of the Warriors’ Draymond Green, who got into a pair of skirmishes — first with Grant Williams and then with Jaylen Brown — that seemed to fuel his team.

“You respond to fire with fire, right?” Smart said. “We’ve just got to turn around and do the same thing. If he’s going to come in here and try to be physical, this is our house and we’ve got to protect it.”

Selfless Steph

Jordan Poole knocked down a buzzer-beater from almost midcourt when Curry made a point to catch his gaze, and that celebratory stare down told so much about the veteran guard’s pride for his young teammate.

Curry expressed as much joy for Poole hitting the jaw-dropping shot from deep as he would had it been him, the superstar who already has more than his share of 3-pointers from way, way back. That’s Selfless Steph — never one to let his ego get in the way of Golden State’s success.

Curry still did plenty while scoring 29 points to lead the Warriors to a 107-88 Game 2 victory against the Celtics on Sunday night.

He applauded Poole for maintaining momentum going into the final period.

“That was obviously a big shot to get the crowd into it,” Curry said. “Put kind of a dagger on that great third quarter that we had.”

The 34-year-old Curry embraces living in a constant state of reflection — not to mention balance as a father of three young children — while also somehow keeping his mind acutely focused on the moment right in front of him.

Thinking back on how far he has come, from being selected as the Warriors’ undersized first-round draft pick out of Davidson in 2009 to all the losing early on in his career and a remarkable rise into one of the NBA’s greatest ever, Curry regularly acknowledges his gratitude.

“I’ve said it many times, Steph reminds me so much of Tim Duncan,” Kerr said. “When I played with Timmy, there was the same vibe, this incredible, authentic humility and humor and joy behind the scenes. Then, frankly, a real arrogance on the floor, like ‘I’m the best player out here.’ It’s the perfect kind of leader, someone who you feel comfortable with in the locker room but somebody who you can count on to take you where you need to go on the floor.

“That’s what Steph possesses. It’s a very rare combination of qualities. But it’s what makes him special.”

Injury updates

Kerr said Andre Iguodala, who sat out Game 2 with inflammation in his right knee, is questionable for Game 3. Iguodala played 12 minutes in Game 1, his first time on the floor since the Warriors’ opening-round series against the Nuggets.

For the Celtics, Robert Williams III is on track to play after Smart inadvertently fell into his surgically repaired left knee in the third quarter of Game 2. Williams has had to adjust his approach while playing just 10 weeks after surgery.

“Just adding a little more technique, a little more thinking to the game,” he said. “Obviously ... with the injury that I have, not being as explosive as I normally am. A little more physicality, using my body a little bit more.”
