This cold-blooded triple was hardly the only play the lesser-known Curry made in Game 2, though.

He shot 5-of-9 overall and 4-of-7 from three, too, leading a solid effort by the Blazers' bench that stood in stark contrast to its relative absence in Game 1.

Behind 37 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists from Curry, Golden State stormed back from a 15-point halftime deficit, and used a 14-3 run late, to win Game 2 114-111, taking a 2-0 lead as the Western Conference Finals shifts to Portland.
