Jayson Tatum was not at his best, and many claim that he wasn’t even justifying his MVP credentials. He finished the game with 18 points and 7 rebounds. He spoke about his performance after the game and said “It’s not going to dictate our season“.
For NBA champion Kendrick Perkins to praise the Warriors is itself a rare act. In fact, last month he publicly apologized to Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and the whole team for the “disrespect” that he had shown.
How good are Stephen Curry and his team?
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were incredible and clocked in 32 and 34 points respectively. Curry served his special with his jaw-dropping confidence. He shot the ball from 30 feet at the buzzer-beater and looked away, knowing full well the ball would go through the hoop.
The cool and confident Stephen Curry is a vital piece for the defending titleholders. He has proven time and again why he is the best player in the league. Last month, he recorded history when he became the first player in the NBA to ever score back-to-back games of 40+ points, a field goal percentage of 65% and 5+ 3pt made.
