After losing Game 1, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors answered in a big way on Sunday, winning in a 107-88 blowout against Boston.
Steph was the big star again, as he poured in 29 points on the night. If he keeps up this pace and ends up winning the series, it could finally bring the star guard his first Finals MVP, an award that Curry himself says he is hungry to win:
“There’s just so much joy in that moment no matter what. … You want to be able to experience it.”

Curry has been a man on a mission through these first two games. He has been dominant, explosive, and the leader his team has needed.
His approach for this series in particular has Curry playing extra aggressively, and it has paid off so far.
“I think it’s different just cause of the way the roster’s constructed,” said the 2x MVP. “I think this year, there’s definitely a need for me to be aggressive throughout the game, to create, draw attention, get shots up and just continue to apply pressure. Obviously, these first two games, it’s gone well. I don’t know what it will look like on the road. The rest of the series, it’s just always about being confident with the ball in my hands to make plays.”
Curry has done almost everything there is to do in the NBA. He’s a 2x MVP, 8x All-Star, and 3x champion. A Finals MVP is one of the only things missing from his resume, and he is closer now than ever before to actually winning it.
Of course, it remains to be seen how these Finals will end, but Steph has made it perfectly clear that he’s not going down without a fight.
