What is Steph Curry’s record in game 7s in the playoffs?
With the Golden State Warriors wobbled and on the ropes, Game 7 will see them depend more than ever on their star magic man, Steph Curry.
The Sacramento Kings have already done the unlikely in forcing a Game 7 in their round 1 series with the Golden State Warriors, but to pull off the impossible, they will need to overcome stiff odds.
First of all, the Warriors have vastly more experience in the playoffs. And secondly, the Warriors have Steph Curry.
Steph Curry’s record in playoff Game 7s
Overall, the Chef has a 2-2 record in do-or-die situations, making him even money on the night. Here is how they stack up.
- 2014 first round vs. the Los Angeles Clippers: Curry scored 33 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and dished out 4 assists, but the Warriors lost 126-121.
- 2016 Western Conference Finals vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder: Curry scored 36 points, including seven 3-pointers, and added 8 rebounds and 5 assists in a 96-88 win.
- 2016 NBA Finals vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers: Curry had a rough shooting night, scoring 17 points on 6-for-19 shooting (including 4-for-14 from 3-point range) to go with 5 rebounds and 2 assists as the Warriors lost 93-89.
- 2018 Western Conference Finals vs. the Houston Rockets: Curry put up 27 points, grabbing 9 rebounds and 19 assists in a 101-92 win.
The momentum is going the way of the Kings, but with the odds pretty much split down the middle, it would be a fool’s errand to count your chickens before they hatch.
