After a second straight double-digit win against the San Antonio Spurs, all that was left for the media to ask was the health of the players, as Zaza Pachulia sat out for Game 3 and Andre Iguodala returned in a 19-minute stint.

Curry has shot over 50 percent from the floor in every game of the Western Conference Finals— totaling a 55.6 field goal percentage and a 50 percent clip from beyond the arc in 5.3 treys made per game so far in the series.

Ironically enough, Curry suffered an elbow injury around this time of year during last season's playoffs, with swelling the size of a tennis ball after diving for a loose ball in the conference finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
