Steph Curry was still not Steph Curry on Thursday night. The long, looping jump shots did not fall the way they had so many nights before these Western Conference finals. There is room to continue to ask if he is truly healthy. Maybe his sprained knee has not fully recovered or the pounding he has taken from the Oklahoma City Thunder has kept him from feeling free.
But on a night when the Golden State Warriors needed Curry to save their season, he gave them a different version of himself in Golden State’s 120-111 Game 5 victory. One that was fierce, defiant and anything but the graceful, cocksure guard we have grown accustomed to seeing dance across the court. The Curry of Thursday pounded his chest, he screamed to the stands and he showed that he is ready to grind through three straight games to get the Warriors back to the NBA finals.
