Stephen Curry Lit Up the Rockets, Told the Houston Fans All About It
By Jason McIntyre
A couple buffoons decided to try and get in Stephen Curry’s head as he put on an assault for the ages in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals and it backfired, terribly.
Curry lit up Houston for 37 points in the game’s first 31 minutes – he scored 20 points in the third quarter – and in nearly every conceivable way – scoop lefty, baseline drive, three-pointers from all-around the arc … it wasn’t a performance anyone will soon forget. It sounded like Houston reluctantly cheered him when he finally left the floor in the 4th quarter after he left with 40 points.
So the Warriors will grab a 3-0 lead when this game mercifully ends, and they’ll be favorites against Cleveland in the Finals. Quick reminder of how absurd of a postseason Curry has had:
Stephen Curry has made 91% of the 3-pointers he's attempted from the left corner this postseason.
