OAKLAND–Yes, Stephen Curry still thinks about the last time the Cleveland Cavaliers were on the Oracle Arena court, when the horn sounded and Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals became a part of Warriors infamy.
In some ways, Curry told me on my podcast Saturday, he hasn’t stopped thinking about that agonizing moment, those sounds, and his view of the Cavaliers’ celebrations after winning the championship.
Even back on that June day, Curry knew he wouldn’t want to forget it–that defeat was just another installment of the instant-history, rise-and-fall Warriors-Cavaliers continuum, and there surely would be more epic meetings to come.
