The secret strength that fuels Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors
IN A HO-HUM January tilt against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the rarest of Stephen Curry celebrations appears late in the third quarter, during which the Golden State Warriors hold — surprise, surprise — a healthy 22-point lead. After a Cavaliers miss, a Warriors fast break ensues, and guard Gary Payton II spots teammate Otto Porter Jr. all alone on the right wing for a 3-pointer. Curry, drifting near the basket, trains his eyes on the shot's arc, then anchors to the left block and boxes out Cavaliers guard Darius Garland.
