Stephen Curry Learnt One Important Lesson About His Team In Tough Fight Vs Celtics: “It’s Hard”

The Warriors are legit! Well, they started the season red hot by winning six of their first seven games. But many believed it was only because of their easy schedule. That’s why all eyes were on tonight’s encounter against the Celtics as facing the reigning champions would reveal their true potential. Sure enough, Stephen Curry and Co. proved the doubters wrong as they conquered the challenge, that too in the Celtics’ territory. However, it took a valiant effort to do so and The Baby-Faced Assassin learned a crucial lesson in the process.

“We’re capable of beating anybody. It’s hard. You gotta embrace the challenge.” He said in the postgame interview. Well, no one expected the Warriors to be this good right away following the departure of Klay Thompson. But they have not lost on the road so far and are currently on a five-game winning streak. Surely, this gives them the confidence for the upcoming games as they prepare to face the Cavs and Thunder to finish their road trip.

Moreover, Chef Curry also addressed the reason behind tonight’s win, “Our offense took care of the ball, which is something we struggled with historically. But when we have good possessions and get shots whether we make them offensive rebound and then we get our defense set, I guess with that team, that’s the only way you can win and so we controlled that down the stretch.” Obviously, the Warriors have had their fair share of battles against the Cs, even defeating them in the NBA Finals two years ago. So, they knew they could not afford to make any mistakes against them.

Taking everyone by surprise, Buddy is averaging a career high 21.9 points so far. Even tonight, he scored sixteen points and hit four shots from deep range. Moreover, he also hit arguably the most important shot of the game which was a dagger three in the final seconds to extend his team’s lead and seal the victory.

Sure enough, it was Steph who assisted him the ball. And the Baby-Faced Assassin praised his new Splash Buddy after the game, “Buddy Hield has been playing unbelievable. That big shot he had in the corner was huge.” Well, the Warriors have surprised everyone with their hot start and they hope to continue this momentum for the rest of the year.
