Analysis: Stephen Curry aced his moment of truth, propelling Warriors to West finals
Stephen Curry carried the Golden State Warriors past the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of a second-round playoff series to advance to the Western Conference finals for the fifth straight year. By Ben Golliver Ben Golliver NBA reporter Email Bio Follow May 11 at 10:21 AM HOUSTON — Through vexing mistakes, uncharacteristic slumps and a nagging finger injury, the most magical shooter in NBA history conjured the greatest postseason performance of his storied career.
The after-halftime turnaround started slowly, with a missed three-pointer followed by a simple layup to get on the board. His confidence swelling, Curry hit a floater, and a corner three, and a lefty scoop. As a close game went deeper into the fourth quarter, he sensed the Rockets were staggering and kept ratcheting up his attacks. Another floater. A right angle three. A nifty run through an open paint for a banking layup.
Curry has had plenty of memorable playoff moments, but Game 6 should be remembered as his signature night. Adversity came in many forms, and lesser players would have been content to pack up it and prepare for a Game 7 back at home. For the Warriors’ dynasty to carry on, they needed Curry at his very best. Thompson kept things afloat with a strong first half, Andre Iguodala improbably hit five three-pointers, Draymond Green was everywhere on defense, and a host of reserves stepped up to fill Durant’s minutes and chip in around the edges.
