Re: Steph Curry: Any lower ankle/foot injury he suffers is going to garner attention. While his right has been the historically more problematic side, the 12 games he missed earlier this year were to the left. Important to remember that injury was a foot sprain AND bone contusion – 11:34 AM

The Celtics have brought Steph Curry into ball screens more and more each game. @SecondSpectrum says when Curry is on the floor he’s the screener defender on:
G1 – 21% of plays
G2 – 23%
G3 – 30%
Warriors did a solid job defending it in Game 1 & 2 but Boston shot 67% in Game 3. pic.twitter.com/M4fUPoW12l – 11:13 AM

Blitzing curry definitely worked. I think the timing of the blitz did more than the blitzing itself. Warriors were in desperation mode at that point, Steph trying to find a sliver of space. Early on, that probably leads to easier offense from others. – 11:28 PM

We have Steph Curry and Klay Thompson taking turns showing how they made the Warriors one of the most historically significant franchises of the NBA’s existence. As we speak.

Curry was living on the edge. That charge he took could’ve gone the other way. And he could’ve been called for a push off on one of his threes.

Worst sequence of the night for the Warriors. Steph Curry reaches in from behind to pick up his 4th foul/give Marcus Smart three free throws. Warriors then throw the ball out of bounds and stand around as Celtics toss ahead an inbound for a dunk. Five gift points. – 10:33 PM

Derrick White is doing a really good job getting skinny around screens to contest Steph Curry’s jumpers. Had a nice rear-contest a few plays back and then got around the screen to make Curry’s last look a difficult one. – 9:21 PM

No pun intended but Smart is sooo smart. Payton got caught cheating up after Curry got switched onto Tatum and Smart dropped into the open area on the diagonal block for an easy two – 9:20 PM

Very slick move by Smart to go for the second foul on Curry. Steph bit on the fake and now he has to sit – 9:19 PM

thought Tatum had Curry’s second foul on the drive, didn’t matter when he got Tatum on the ensuing shot. Celtics have been working pretty hard to get that 2nd this quarter. – 9:19 PM

Stephen Curry has recorded 14 career Finals games in which he’s made five or more 3P.
That’s one more such game than the next three-closest players combined:
🎯 Curry, 14
🎯 Klay Thompson, 5
🎯 Danny Green, 4
🎯 JR Smith, 4 pic.twitter.com/AkkxxVcreK – 7:01 PM

More on this storyline
I asked Curry: How scary was that moment? “It’s a big body, obviously,” Curry said, referring to Horford. “I haven’t seen the play, so I don’t know if it could have been avoided or not. I was in that situation with Marcus back in the Bay, and you just want to get your foot out of there. That’s all I was trying to do at that point, knowing the position I was in.” -via The Athletic / June 9, 2022
ClutchPoints: Reporter: “Injury to Steph Curry that forced him out of the game?” Steve Kerr: “When they dove on the floor? I kept him in the game… I took him out with 2 mins left cuz we were down 14.” “No concern for Steph moving forward?” “I didn’t say that… We will know more tomorrow.” -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / June 9, 2022
Connor Letourneau: Stephen Curry said it felt like a foot sprain. Added, “I don’t think I’ll miss a game, though.” -via Twitter @Con_Chron / June 9, 2022
