Steph Curry gives boy his shoes after Warriors-Magic game
“It’s just pretty much executing what we do”, Curry said.
“I made a bunch of 3s in the third quarter and then finished with that one”, he added.
With Curry, everything is possible. Curry made 20 of 27 shots, including 10 of 15 three-pointers, as the Warriors improved to 52-5 – the best 57-game start in league history. “A 3-point shot is like a layup”.
But it was more than just making solid passes. It’s to the point where we expect everything to go.
Robertson said Curry shoots so well because modern National Basketball Association defences are trash. “With Steph, it’s actually true”.
In Portland, James Harden scored 46 points and Houston overcame a 21-point, third-quarter deficit to snap the Blazers’ six-game win streak. I’m going to pressure you with three-quarters, half-court defense. “I swear I did”.
Green estimated that when the Warriors shoot from half-court at the end of practices and shootarounds that Curry is 60 percent from that distance. That they don’t know defense?
All eyes will be on Curry again on Saturday night, when they face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the final game of their road trip. “I know right away if it has a chance or not”.
The Magic continue to make a concerted effort to get to the free throw line.
Curry’s next-level marksmanship has seen him set records for most three-pointers in a season (286 in 2014-15), most three-pointers in a postseason (98 in 2015), and most three-point attempts in a postseason (232 in 2015).
In other games, Detroit topped East-leading Cleveland for the second time this season 96-88, Toronto defeated the New York Knicks 122-95, Minnesota upset Boston 124-122, and the Los Angeles Clippers handed Phoenix its 12th consecutive loss, 124-84. Backup point guard Toney Douglas scored 12 points in 14 minutes, with 10 points coming in the fourth quarter.
Stephen Curry remembers playing his first round of golf around when he was 8 or 9, was part of his high school’s golf team and is a past participant at the American Century Championship – a celebrity tournament held in Nevada each summer.
Curry, who leads the National Basketball Association in scoring (30.4 points per game), had 42 points over 34 minutes on Wednesday in a victory over the Miami Heat. It’s a record that is nearly certain to be obliterated.
Magic: Fournier led Orlando with 20 points.
But it’s precisely this sort of ball movement (yes, and also Steph Curry) that separates the Warriors from everyone else. They lingered for glimpses of Curry after the game as if he were a rock star. The team still shot 54.1% even without Curry’s gaudy numbers, which would have been good enough for their 7th best shooting night of the year.
Curry is obviously a prolific 3-point shooter, but the guy actually gets better the farther from the basket he is.
“This was Steph’s night”, Magic coach Scott Skiles said. The world is ever changing and you can’t expect things to stay the same.
