Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes that star guard Stephen Curry ‘may have been a little dehydrated' in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors.
Curry didn't have a good start to the contest and even failed to make a field goal in the opening quarter. He scored four points in the first frame, albeit all through free throws. Steph was obviously not his usual self, and the fact that he's feeling a little ill before the game may be the reason for that.
Steve Kerr said Steph Curry "may have been a little dehydrated." But Kerr didn't have details other than that.

Curry, for his part, didn't share many details apart from admitting that he wasn't feeling well at the onset. He quickly downplayed concerns, noting that he'll be healthy in Game 3.
Curry won't elaborate on his illness, just said he wasn't feeling right early in the night, but wasn't anything that would keep him from a Finals game and has plenty of time to recover before Game 3.

In their 109-104 victory in Game 2, Curry had 23 points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals. It was a relatively decent night for the two-time MVP, though he shot just 35.3 percent from the field and 30.0 percent from downtown. He helped his team stay in the game when the Raptors stretched a lead as big as 12 points.
Though Curry dismissed concerns, it would be interesting to see how it will affect him as they move forward in the series.
The Warriors have been to the NBA Finals for five consecutive seasons, and from the looks of it, some of their players have shown signs of wear and tear. The likes of Andre Iguodala and Klay Thompson suffered leg injuries in Game 2.
Golden State will have a few days rest before Game 3 in Oracle Arena. Hopefully, it'll be enough for them to recover as Toronto has proven to be a worthy foe.
