How Steph Curry took full command of the offense against the Blazers

Steph Curry has always been a point guard — but since Draymond Green was forced to sit out 23 consecutive games, Curry has had to become more of a true point guard.

A rough definition of a “true” point guard is someone who primarily seeks to set up his teammates.
