Stephen Curry with the humble opinion after victory
Stephen Curry recorded his first triple-double since January 22, 2016, in tonight’s game against the Lakers. However, his performance on the offensive end wasn’t up to the caliber that he sets for himself. Therefore, in the post-game interview with a journalist from TNT, Stephen Curry said this about his performance.
“This is a good feeling, we had a lot of excitement coming into the season. A new cast of characters mixed with our core, and we weathered the storm tonight. Obviously, I played like trash, shot the ball terribly. But if we can win a game like that, where we created some good shots and stuck with it defensively, I guess a pretty good team. Get a win like that that’s a good omen for us.”
