Stephen Curry's record night soothes Warriors' rough edges
- 8 years ago
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr occasionally gets asked to compare his current superstar to his former teammate and basketball demigod Michael Jordan .
On Saturday night though, in a thrilling 121-118 Warriors overtime win over the Oklahoma City Thunder , Golden State needed more of the joy and less of the anger.
On the television broadcast, ESPN's Lisa Salters said the following:
"One of the players, believed to be Draymond Green , was shouting so loudly and using such profanity in the locker room that it could be heard well outside the locker room.
It went from bad to worse when Russell Westbrook landed on Curry's ankle with 10:35 left in the third quarter.
It was too late, and, as the game winner started falling from the sky, frustrated Oklahoma City big man Enes Kanter threw his hands in the air.
It took some surprising, if not lucky, plays for Golden State to reach that moment of inevitable victory.
