Stephen Curry proves he's more than just a shooter

Stephen Curry had just three points (1-of-7) in the first half of the Warriors' 103-89 Game 7 win against the Rockets on Sunday night. 

Yet, the 37-year-old was never a liability on the floor and found other ways to contribute to his team's success — six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal for a team-best plus-16.

Curry would ultimately regain his stroke in the second half, torching the Rockets with 19 points (7-of-9) to finish with a terrific stat line of 22 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals.

In the first half, Curry proved he's more than just a sharpshooter and can turn up the intensity defensively when required. He was instrumental in Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks shooting a combined 2-of-9 in the first half, and Fred Van Vleet, the hero of Game 6, not being allowed enough space to operate in the open floor.

Curry was equally fantastic on transition defense, sprinting back to stop leak-outs and fast-break opportunities the Rockets tried to generate. During the game, ESPN's Kendrick Perkins praised Curry's ability to "defend at a high level" when he locks into an assignment.
