Although Steph Curry’s red-hot 2020-21 campaign is over, another member of the Curry family is on the floor during the postseason. Through the Philadelphia 76ers’ run through the Eastern Conference playoffs, Seth Curry has played a key role.
Through five games in the second round against the Atlanta Hawks, Curry has notched double-figure scoring numbers in each contest, including a 36 point explosion in game five. With the Hawks holding a 3-2 advantage in the series, the Sixers would need to lean on Curry again in game six on the road.
The Duke product answered the bell, notching 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the floor with three boards, two assists and a steal. Curry got red-hot from long distance, drilling six triples on nine attempts from beyond the arc.
Along with Curry’s 24 points, Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris each tallied 22 or more points to force a game seven against the Hawks back in Philadelphia.
Following Curry’s electric run in game six, his brother responded on social media. The Warriors point guard took to Twitter with a simple message for his younger brother.
