You would never know that Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has been dealing with a finger injury based on his demolition of the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals.
Curry dislocated a finger on his non-shooting hand in the Warriors' second-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets, an injury that has actually stopped him from playing golf, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times.
Golf is one of Curry's favorite hobbies, and he has even played in several professional events. While this finger injury is hindering his ability to enjoy that game, it's not affecting Curry on the basketball court, as the two-time MVP just averaged an insane 36.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists over 39.8 minutes per game while shooting 46.9 percent from the floor, 42.6 percent from 3-point range and 93.8 percent from the free-throw line during the Warriors' sweep of the Blazers.
Curry capped his series performance by racking up 37 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in an overtime win on Monday night, making seven 3-pointers in the process.
In doing so, Curry completely silenced his critics, as many were questioning just how good of a playoff performer the 30-year-old really was after a pair of lackluster outings during the Warriors' first two playoff series.
Many also wondered just how Golden State would fare without Kevin Durant, who strained his calf in Game 5 against the Rockets and has been sidelined ever since. But, obviously, the Dubs did not break a sweat, as they have not lost a game since Durant has gone down.
The Warriors have now advanced to their fifth straight NBA Finals.
