Stephen Curry Survives the Mental Collapse and Gears Up for Ant-Man Showdown

If you listened carefully on Sunday night, you could probably hear the collective therapy session happening across the Bay. Stephen Curry survived. The Warriors survived. And most importantly, Canon Curry’s little heart survived.

Just days ago, cameras caught Canon in full meltdown mode during the Game 6 disaster, looking like a Pixar character that just saw his puppy get traded. But now? That boy’s soul has been healed. And Warriors fans have already handed out MVP votes to a new unexpected hero: Buddy Hield.

“Warriors fans we owe an apology. To buddy is the one who healed canon heart. #BuddyHealed all our broken hearts in Game 6.”

Let’s paint the picture. Game 6 ended with Warriors fans questioning everything—Steph looked emotionally cooked, the Rockets had clawed back from 3-1, and the vibes were somewhere between “KD leaving in 2016” and “We drafted Wiseman over LaMelo”. Even Canon Curry, who’s basically the team’s spiritual mascot at this point, couldn’t hold back tears. The scene was painful.

Fast forward to Game 7 and enter Buddy Hield wearing a cape made of flamethrowers. This dude dropped 33 points on 12-of-15 shooting, went nuclear with 9 threes, and basically performed a spiritual CPR on the Warriors’ season. The 22 points in the first half alone were enough to let Steph breathe—and boy did he.

Stephen Curry finished with 22-10-7, but this wasn’t about a vintage 40-bomb. It was about leading, surviving, and thriving. Game 7 was less about explosion and more about orchestration. And with Draymond Green locking down Sengun, Jimmy Butler being his usual playoff psycho self, and Podziemski stealing minutes like a vet, the Warriors collectively said: “This ain’t how our season ends.”

Houston didn’t fold easily. Amen Thompson had 24 points, Sengun added 21, and Jalen Green tried his best to play spoiler. But Buddy had already cast the healing spell, and Curry was back to commanding the floor like he never left.

Curry’s Brain = Fried, But Wolves Are Next

Now that the canon has been restored (both in story arc and small child happiness), attention shifts to the Minnesota Timberwolves. And Curry? Let’s just say… his hard drive needs a reboot.

When asked about facing the Wolves in Round 2, Steph didn’t sugarcoat how mentally taxing the series was. “My mind is fried right now. I know what Ant is, We haven’t seen them in a long time. I just know they’re going to bring the best out of us. It’s going to be a challenge to start on the road again, so thankfully we’ve got life. That’s all we wanted.”

That quote is practically basketball poetry. It’s scrambled, it’s tired. It’s honest. And it’s Steph all the way.

He knows Ant-Man is coming. He knows Rudy Gobert’s ready to plant himself in the paint like a sequoia. And he knows starting the next series on the road (again) is brutal. But you can also feel the gratitude—the man just dragged his squad through seven games of chaos, and now he’s getting ready for a high-flying, jaw-talking Gen Z phenom in Anthony Edwards.

Game 6 broke the internet with Canon Curry’s tears. Game 7 put the pieces back together thanks to Buddy Hield’s unconscious shooting and Stephen Curry’s unshakable will. The Warriors didn’t just win—they reminded everyone why you never count out the heart of a champion.

Canon’s heart? Healed.
Steph’s mind? Fried, but still cooking.
Next stop? Minnesota.

The NBA better buckle up, because the Warriors aren’t just alive—they’re emotionally restored and ready for war.
