Didn’t the Rockets have like an 0-27 stretch in that game from 3?

It always seems a player or two will step up for the Warriors when needed. Tonight it was Looney and Curry. Last year during the finals it was Payton/Wiggins. It's never really 1 guy who is the best but a collective of players who make each other great.

I dont think anybody or anything could have stopped Steph today

A very Jordesque type performance. Props to Steph.

Forcing him to pass is how you stop him on days like today. They didn’t do that.

If LeBron won it would do the opposite for the NBA.

Go watch how the Raptors defended him in 2019.

The GOAT winning anything is never a bad thing for the NBA.
