With the Golden State Warriors starting off their season with back-to-back blowout losses, there's been a lot of pressure on Dubs superstar Stephen Curry to carry this team the rest of the way. Golden State took on the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night, and unsurprisingly, the former back-to-back MVP put on a show — including a trademark off-balanced triple to close out the third period.

The Warriors were down by seven at that point, and Curry's last-second trey cut the lead to just four points entering the fourth quarter. It was a key, momentum-swinging play for the Warriors, who are in a bit of a must-win situation after losing their first two games of the new campaign.
Golden State kicked off their season with a 125-99 loss against Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets, which was followed by a 138-99 defeat at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks three days later. To be fair, both blowouts were against two of the top sides in the league today, so it was a tough start for the Dubs, to say the least.
This is exactly why Warriors had to pull off a win against the Bulls on Sunday night. Another loss would not have been catastrophic of nature — after all they are just three games into the season — but there's no denying that a third straight defeat would have the critics talking about another wasted campaign for Golden State.
