A dance class. This is what Stephen Curry “gifted” to Cam Thomas last night. Six minutes from the end of a very close match between Warriors and Nets, the leader of the Warriors pulled out a number of dribbles, including an ugly “cross”, before punishing the Nets back with a “jumper” line of bottom.
This converted shot was part of a new crazy sequence proposed by the double MVP: 12 points scored in a row, with two 3-point baskets (including a “stepback” in front of the same Cam Thomas), to allow his team to breathe and finally prevail.
“ I deal with these shots every night, they came in tonight “, just comments on the crazy shooter, author of 16 of his 37 points (14/22 on shots, including 6/8 from distance) in the last quarter. “ It gave us confidence. I think that's the biggest problem when you're struggling, you might be a little emotionally drained. You have to find confidence and I think Steph gives us confidence », Steve Kerr can appreciate about this offensive sequence.
Confidence and balm in the heart for local fans, who have to deal with the negative record (11 victories – 14 defeats) of their favorite team. That night, the crowd at the Chase Center remained on their feet while Stephen Curry multiplied his exploits in order to erase their series of three defeats in a row.
Not possible to win alone
“ Steph had to carry this team, let's be honest. After the news about Draymond (Green), he was emotionally worn out in recent days. He started slowly tonight. Then, as he did so often, he changed his attitude. You can see right away when this happens. And he was amazing », Qualifies Steve Kerr, whose colt exceeded 3,500 winning shots scored in his career in this match.
“ He will lead us to victory, we appreciate him. I hope that tomorrow we can help him more. He was special tonight just with his ability to create and return shots from all over the court. I'm grateful to Steph for her performance tonight », Adds Klay Thompson, himself author of 24 points.
His “Splash Brother” reminds him that he can’t win a match of his own “ all alone. I can play well and I have to play well. I'am aware. But I don't play alone. There is definitely pressure and I live for those kinds of moments. But there are guys who have the opportunity to put themselves forward, and the confidence starts to build. »
