This is the all time great performance in the Finals that Steph has been missing from his resume! He got the Garden as quiet as a Church on a Saturday night. Carry on…

Best game of Steph’s career. The moment demanded greatness, and he delivered with his team’s season teetering on the brink.

this one goes on the Steph Curry pantheon in perpetuity.

Easily the greatest Finals of Steph’s career so far. He has consistently taken over in the 2nd half of games when Golden State has needed him most

Curry is now two Golden State wins from solidifying an all-time great NBA Finals performance. The victory would be his fourth NBA championship with the Dubs, but Curry is searching for an elusive first NBA Finals MVP award. At this rate, Curry is the only possible pick should the Warriors win another ring.
