Stephen Curry starred in one of the best plays of Game 2 of the NBA Finals, drawing a much-desired one-on-one isolation matchup against LeBron James — first seemingly caught up in a world of trouble, then gathering himself to put his opponent on skates and finish between him and Kevin Love at the rim with a swift lay-in.
The Golden State Warriors point guard notched the first triple-double of his playoff career with 32 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds — later explaining how that crucial sequence took place.

“Honestly, I was rushing to begin with,” Curry told reporters. “Because I felt like there was an angle here, an angle there and there wasn't a huge crowd around that right side of the floor and then I was able to reset behind the three-point line. You kind of just give him a little hesitation, make him think you're gonna shoot and just try to go around him and at that point I was a little more composed than early in that possession.”
“I was kind of like a chicken with his head cut off, running in circles. That was kind of like a microcosm of the game — we were rushing a lot in those situations. Just trying to keep it simple and just make a play.”
