How Did Curry Perform During the Playoffs Game 2 Against the Rockets?
Steph finished the night with 20 points, nine assists, and five rebounds in 37 minutes, shooting 6-of-15 from the field and 4-of-9 from deep (44.4%). His efficiency dipped a bit in the second half as he cooled down, finishing with an overall 40% FG.
While it wasn’t one of his explosive scoring nights, Curry’s playmaking was sharp, dishing out impressive nine assists and keeping the ball moving against Houston’s defense. His deep three from 30 feet out in the second quarter was vintage Steph, igniting the crowd and briefly giving the Warriors a spark.
Still, the Rockets’ defense did a solid job of preventing him from taking over late. Solid numbers for Curry, but he couldn’t prevent the disappointing Warriors 109 – 94 loss.
Curry Made Playoffs History In Game 2
Curry didn’t waste any time making history in Game 2. With his first three points of the night, the Warriors star crossed the 4,000-point mark in the playoffs, becoming just the 11th player in NBA history to hit that milestone.
Already the undisputed king of three-point shots, Curry now sits in rare league alongside legends like LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
The Warriors legend came into Wednesday night’s game averaging 27 points per outing in the postseason across 148 appearances. Needless to say, the 36-year-old continues to build on a legacy that’s already full of records and jaw-dropping moments.
