Steph Curry needed painkillers to get through shootaround, but even with a dead wheel he cut the Nuggets hearts out. Curry is unselfish, possessor of good court vision and great wrists. In the first half he hit Andrew Bogut with three different money passes for dunks. Curry’s feel for the moment and environment are unmatched; in the third quarter, energized by a raucous Oracle crowd, he lit the reeling Nuggets up for 22 points. Even Curry’s heat checks are within the flow.
