The Golden State Warriors took game 5 of the NBA Finals to take a 3-2 lead in the series despite a lackluster showing from superstar Steph Curry. Whether he was exhausted from his epic performance in game 4 or the Celtics were just better defensively is irrelevant since the rest of the Warriors’ squad was up to the task. The whole team stepping up when its superstar struggles is exactly what you get from a team bordering on being a dynasty.
Dan Patrick: “They played good defense on Steph Curry. I don’t know if he was exhausted from what happened in game 4...No 3-pointers, and that’s when you say, OK, is (Andrew) Wiggins going to show up, is (Jordan) Poole going to show up, is Draymond Green, Klay Thompson. And the answer is yes, they did. But that’s what happens when you have a good team, bordering on being a great team, and a dynasty.”
