Steph Curry 'Greatest 6th Man Ever' in NBA Playoffs as Warriors Own Nuggets in Game 2

Stephen Curry's foot injury late in the regular season has forced Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr to tinker with his lineup for the first two games of the postseason.

So far, the results have been very encouraging for the Warriors. Curry came off the bench Monday night and dropped 34 points in 23 minutes during Golden State's 126-106 win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone told reporters after the game that Curry is the "greatest sixth man ever in the playoffs."

Whether Malone was being tongue in cheek or not, it's hard to argue with that assessment.
