Just before the playoffs, the Warriors got the biggest scare. While playing the Celtics, DPOY Marcus Smart was right on Curry. With the ball loose, Smart dove right onto Curry’s foot to retrieve the ball. The Chef was left in pain as he was diagnosed with bone bruises and an ankle injury.

Stephen Curry is still elite

Curry’s recovery from injury hasn’t slowed down the three-point king. In Game 2, Steph was completely unleashed. Coming off the bench, he led all the scorers and shot an unreal 70% from the floor. No matter what his role, the Baby-Faced Assassin is doing his job to perfection. With Poole emerging as the third scorer, Curry benefited majorly as he gets a break on passing half-court.

Jeff Green surely knows just how good Steph is. He said no matter if Curry starts or comes off the bench; he is just really good. Green said, “The m*therf**ker is still good as shit.”

In the first two games, Curry helped the Warriors blow the Nuggets off the floor. With the arena all chanting Warriors, Curry came in ready to battle. In the span of 2 games, he is averaging 25 points per game while barely playing 20 minutes per game. His 34-point effort in Game 2 turned out to be the driving force for the Warriors. And he carried his momentum to Game 3 as well.
