The Golden State Warriors entered their matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers as the obvious favorites to win. Who wouldn’t place their bets on a team with the best record in the league right now? But the Dubs had scared everyone for almost three quarters while playing the Cavs. They were struggling to get threes in and grab rebounds, but Stephen Curry pulled off another miracle to get them out of that rut.

He went completely out of control in the fourth quarter, taking the onus entirely on himself to drag them to a victory. In fact, any other audience witnessing his monumental performance would have been in complete awe of him, but the fans sitting in this arena couldn’t be more discouraging.
