Kerr: ‘Incredible’ Curry ‘made some amazing plays’
Head coach Steve Kerr said “Steph was incredible, he was incredible” during the game, adding that “with that type of pressure on him from [Amen] Thompson and others, he just made some amazing plays and, obviously, carried us offensively along with Jimmy.”
Curry’s form will need to be tip-top in Game 2 against Houston, who will be keen on levelling the scoreboard. Ime Udoka’s side are going through a tough patch of form, having succumbed to three successive defeats and have lost back-to-back games at home; despite this, the bookies are calling them favourites for the game. “I wouldn’t say the moment, I would say the physicality at times, going after guys, and just play-off basketball”, said the head coach,
“It’s not really about the moment. Going into the lane, trying to shoot over too many and not finding your outlets is a big thing and a big key for us all year.”
