It’s curious that Curry played so much in a blowout, as the Warriors won every quarter and lead by 18 after three. The presence of Jarrett Jack as alternate ballhandler allowed the Warriors to move Curry off the ball where he’s even more lethal, particularly in transition. When the Clippers attempted a full court press, Curry used their aggressiveness against them. Curry couldn’t quite get by Paul, but he used his superior length to get off quick floaters.
