Curry dazzles again, Warriors even series with Thunder 1-1

And they kept trying to snap themselves out of it with bad shots and fancy passes.

As for the Thunder, they did the one thing you shouldn’t do against the Warriors: make mistakes.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr laughed when asked whether he was concerned about Curry’s injured elbow.

Strength in Numbers was more than just a slogan for the Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.

The Golden State Warriors didn’t do anything all that different on the offense during Game 2.

After failing to recapture the magic he displayed against the Portland Trail Blazers at the end of the last round, Curry set the Thunder on fire in the third quarter on Wednesday, scoring 15 points over a two-minute stretch of the third quarter that blew the game open and essentially sealed the win.

Expect more of the same in Game 3 as the Warriors will look to take the lead in Oklahoma City. On Monday night, the second-half scoreline was advantage Thunder, 61-42. He did find time for a game-high 12 assists, giving him his second consecutive double-double. Kevin Durant meanwhile had 26 points including the dagger.

Oklahoma City was led by 29 points from Kevin Durant, but he didn’t get a lot of help from his teammates.

After the timeout, Green blocks Thunder big-man Enes Kanter. And Thunder coach Billy Donovan only went three deep into his bench, which scored a total of 13 points. For OKC, preventing those hot streaks is key to avoiding big deficits and forcing the Warriors to work harder for every bucket.

ESPN reports GSW only connected 11 of 30 threes so the gamble to take away penetration and let shooters miss paid off for OKC. Just some pain, so I’ll be right. I was turning the ball over playing the crowd.

“I didn’t see him land, I just saw him go over the top”.

It didn’t matter, didn’t affect how the game developed.

After the Thunder closed to 64-57 on an Andre Roberson drive with 7:23 left in the quarter, the Warriors followed Curry until OKC was reeling, taking an 81-61 lead on Klay Thompson’s two free throws with 4:32 remaining in the third.

“I think there’s that kind of metal platform”, Curry said. We moved the ball from side to side. He gave them a longer leash to make sure his stars are rested. “But we didn’t have to force anything-that was our brand of basketball”.

In a blink, the Thunder were toast. Steven Adams stayed back as if he wasn’t coming out to that thin air, so Curry got as clean a look as he would all night. He played 32 minutes and finished plus-24.

Despite the unbelievable play that OKC Thunder displayed in Game 1, they made a series of turnovers, lazy offense, and careless passing which cost them Game 2.

He said he was just throwing the ball up. “Sometimes the ball bounces your way a little bit more, which I thought it did tonight. But mainly just a good activity level”.

But they got the MVP going-and Curry got them going-after he flew into the stands, came out OK, and then couldn’t be stopped.

All they have to do is win out at home, and they will win this series – easier said than done, though. “It’s something we’ll learn from going forward”.
