This week has been very momentous for the “baby-faced assassin” as he scored 53 points against the Denver Nuggets on Monday and recorded 11 three-pointers in the game against the Thunder on Wednesday. His performances have amazed coach Steve Kerr and his teammates alike.
In the post-game press conference after the victory against the Thunder. Curry talked about how he managed to come back stronger from his mid-season injury. He said, “I might have focused a little bit more as it kept me alert at the beginning. I was trying to manage the game and not to fall. As I’ve gotten more comfortable, I have found a really good rhythm.”
He continued, “I think the work that goes in behind the scenes to get your mind and body prepared for a game is exceptional and it helps. Never too high, never too low, but I feel really good as of this moment.”
