The Warriors entered a new level in the playoffs, and Steph Curry talked about the team's bubble form.
Golden State has won five straight games and Curry knows the pressure on the back end of this season will produce diamonds.
“[There’s a] “The feeling of urgency,” Curry said. “You're on the rankings, every game is a feeling of importance. And the idea of a chess game in “How do we win this special game”? Become even more important.
He continued: “We are thriving for this. That's why we've been so successful in so many years. Because as the bets go up, the lights get brighter and we tend to upgrade.”
Curry himself has been lifting it up for a long time. According to ESPN research, he scored a total of 125 points, second only to LeBron James in three games, most of which scored only second to players over 37.
“Of course in three different cities, 37 cities,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “He looked fast tonight, and I think that's perhaps the most underrated part of his game, it's his condition. What he's doing there is incredible, especially given how much attention he's attracted to defense, how much people are under pressure on him, he handled his nights again and flourished.”
The reporter asked Curry if he played like a team at the championship level.
“We play like this,” Curry said. “We have a lot of work. I've been doing a lot of work to do a year of strong work since this run started. You're at night to night and see how we understand how to win the game. The pace is much faster, you have to score much faster, or have better wins with our leaders in a defensive game, or in a quarter of the way. Unlike two months ago.
“To enable us to enter the playoff series, we understand our abilities, whether you predict or say it exists, or what, confidence is there.
