Stephen Curry went nuclear in the first quarter of Game 1. The Golden State Warriors point guard oozed so much confidence that it even seeped into his assists yet to come.
Steph Curry scooped a pass to Warriors co-star Klay Thompson. He didn't even turn his head to check if his fellow Splash Brother made the shot. Steph knew he would.

Stephen Curry is no stranger to not even watching the ball go in the hoop as he takes a shot. When you're passing to Klay Thompson for an open look from beyond the arc, it's not like there's much of a difference.
What a luxury it is to have two of the greatest shooters in NBA history playing for the same team, a blessing the Warriors fans shouldn't take for granted.
Curry wasn't just dime-dropping for the Warriors. He piled on in the scoring column as well with 21 points thanks to an NBA Finals record six threes, one more than the Celtics had as a team in the opening frame. He also had two assists, including the one to Klay.
