Whenever Stephen Curry steps on the floor, the Warriors rely on his outside shooting, gravity and passing skills to lift the team through both beautiful and ugly performances. Whenever Curry sits on the bench with the injury, the Warriors rely on their other All-Star players and a higher level of defensive intensity.
So with Curry sitting out for a second consecutive game with an aggravated sprain in his right ankle, the Warriors relied on a proven formula.
The Warriors’ other All-Stars in Kevin Durant (26 points), Draymond Green (21 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists) and Klay Thompson (12 points) provided enough offensively.
