When Steve Kerr took over as the Warriors' head coach, he made it clear that he wanted more from Stephen Curry on the defensive end of the floor.
Curry responded with the best defensive season of his career, registering a 1.91 Defensive Real Plus-Minus (second best in the NBA among point guards), according to ESPN.
In 2013-14, Curry checked in at 23rd at -0.38.
Despite the improvement, Rockets point guard Ty Lawson recently called Curry out.
“Steph Curry needed someone to go back at him,” Lawson told Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
