It was only last season that the Warriors were hoisting the illustrious Larry O’Brien trophy. Stephen Curry was at the helm, manufacturing one of his finest playoff series.

He wasn’t used to being in such a setting unless it was a loss on the grand stage. While it was difficult to adjust to it, Curry knew the right thing to do was to look ahead.
