SAN FRANCISCO — It wasn’t tears from Klay Thompson but the emotion was obvious, and Stephen Curry couldn’t contain his satisfaction as the night wore on, both from taking in the moment and the not-so-subtle gold-emblazoned cursive “trophy hunting” written across his pregame and postgame attire.
Draymond Green preened and flexed like a much younger man, then quickly handed off the Oscar Robertson Western Conference Trophy seconds after receiving it.
“I’m not one for holding trophies. Number one, it’s heavy,” Green said.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown — even if it’s two years later and so many twists and turns since their maiden voyage that resulted in the Warriors becoming a fixture in June.
