Andre Iguodala was seen consoling Golden State Warriors teammate Stephen Curry after he had one of the worst outings of his playoff career, mustering only 11 points and shooting a measly 3-of-16 from the field.
The Warriors guard was visibly upset with himself after failing to provide the usual spark throughout the game after going 1-of-10 from deep.
Iguodala, who missed the last six games with a knee injury, comforted a distressed Curry — being the veteran stabilizing presence he was asked to be upon returning to the Warriors this summer.
Curry was 1-of-14 from the field before scoring seven of his 11 points in the final 2:58 of regulation.
The two-time MVP got a finger roll to go down before burying his only 3-pointer of the game, a wide-open look from the wing that gave the Warriors a four-point lead in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
Curry's last points would come in a pair of free throws to ice a 110-102 Game 3 victory, putting the Warriors on the verge of a second consecutive NBA title with a 3-0 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 28-year-old's confidence will need to remain high for Friday's Game 4, as he has now put his Finals MVP award at risk, given Kevin Durant's rousing 43-point performance.
