Stephen Curry has had the upper hand over Chris Paul since 2014

The Warriors have been one of the, if not the best teams in the league over the last 10 years. However, things were a little different back in 2014. Curry and the Warriors faced Chris Paul and the Clippers in the first round of the 2014 playoffs. The Clippers gave the Dubs a tough 4-3 loss to send them home. However, that was the last time Chris Paul won a playoff series against Curry and the Warriors.

Since then, the closest Paul came was in 2018 with the Houston Rockets where his injury in game 5 benefitted the Warriors. Fans now await another possible playoff rivalry between the two as the Warriors and Suns stand as the 6th and 4th seeds respectively in the Western Conference.
