Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry had a monster performance in a 114-97 win over the Heat which included going 8-for-11 from 3-point range as part of his 40 point output. Per the SF Chronicle:
“Maybe the most underrated aspect of Steph’s game is his competitive desire,” head coach Steve Kerr said. “The guy is an animal. … He hates to lose, and when he has a game that maybe isn’t up to his standards, you know he’s going to bring it in the next game.”
Curry had one of those nights when he captivates the opposing crowd. They groan every time he’s open, ooh and ahh every time he releases his picture-perfect jumper, and then seem genuinely stunned the few times he misses.
“When you start finding shots, it just feels good,” said Curry, who went 12-of-19 from the floor and 8-of-11 from three-point range. “Even the ones I missed terribly felt good, which is pretty funny.”
