For the first time in the 2020-21 season, the Golden State Warriors displayed the new “Oakland Forever” edition of their uniforms. Donning a new set of threads against the San Antonio Spurs, Steph Curry caught fire in the first quarter.
In the opening 12 minutes, the two-time Most Valuable Player tallied a game-high 10 points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field with two assists. One of his two 3-pointers in the first quarter came after a slick crossover from the six-time All-Star.
With tight defense from Patty Mills, Curry shook off the defender with a slick behind the back crossover. His crafty handles created enough space for a wide-open triple attempt. After letting the jumper fly, Curry started to make his way back on defense before the ball swished through the net.
