The Warriors defeated the Portland Trail Blazers in an overtime thriller 132-125, and Chef Curry came off the bench to cook up a masterpiece. After a horrendous start for the Dubs, head coach Steve Kerr decided it was time to sub in Curry, who scored 23 points in regulation, but shot 2-of-13 from downtown—not Curry-like numbers.
Then overtime happened.
With the Warriors up two, Curry nailed a deep 3 and finally started to feel like himself. He got hyped up and said, “I’m here. I’m back.”
“I am here. I am back.”
