Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter the NBA has ever seen. But that title comes with a price. Because of Curry’s insane ability to torch defenses from anywhere on the floor, opponents view him as a threat at all times—and they’ll do whatever it takes to stop him. That was on full display tonight in Game 3.
All series long, the Houston Rockets have been glued to Steph like leeches. Anytime Curry even sniffs an open look, the nearest Rockets defender is on him like he owes them rent. And they haven’t let up for a second.
In the first quarter tonight, Curry lined up for a three directly opposite the basket. He got the shot off—but not before a Rockets defender came flying at him. And of course, it was the usual suspect: Dillon Brooks. He barreled into Curry, flattening him and sending the Warriors’ point guard crashing to the floor.
