Talking about the astounding transition after halftime, Steph said, “We know what time of the season it is and we’ve faced a lot of adversity all year. Even in this first half, it was nothing going your way. Had some self-inflicted wounds, so the one thing we have, Draymond’s fire in the first half, is the ultimate testament and visual of what it is. We have a competitive spirit that is unmatched. And it’s been that way for a decade.”
Curry added that he understood that the Warriors needed to play better and that they would work on being consistent. He also assured fans by saying, “That belief and killer instinct, the three guys standing on this court – myself, Draymond, Klay – we’ve done it. We know it and our guys are starting to figure it out.”
Following the game, Ayesha Curry proudly shared her husband’s comments on her Instagram stories in support.
