Warriors’ Stephen Curry makes ‘toughest’ Rockets confession after Game 7

After the Golden State Warriors advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs after beating the Houston Rockets in Game 7 on Sunday night, star Stephen Curry sent high praises to the opponents. While Curry and the Warriors have a history of winning against the Rockets, he still spoke on how tough the matchup was for him.

Despite exploding for 14 points in the final period, Houston held down Curry in the first half, scoring three points on seven shots attempted from the field. While still having an impact in other areas, Curry would go as far as to say that this Rockets team “was one of the toughest defenses I think I’ve ever faced,” according to 95.7 The Game.

“Every game was so different. All 12 of them,” Curry said after finishing with 22 points on eight of 16 shooting from the field, four of 10 from deep, to go along with 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and two blocks. “I mean, from their rotations to the scores. It was low scoring for a majority of them, then it became a shooting fest.”

“And this game was kind of like the back to that pattern of low scoring, just defensive, physical, tough, grinding out type of game,” Curry continued. “So it was, I can only speak for myself, in the way that was one of the toughest defenses I think I’ve ever faced, in the sense of the physicality that was allowed early in the series, and then their commitment to just trying to take away all the patterns that we usually thrive off of and guard me a half court at times.”
