Curry has been great in the series, and was happy to get the job done, and celebrated with his daughter Ryan after the game in a heartwarming moment.
After the Warriors defeated the Denver Nuggets, Stephen Curry went to the section of the Chase Center where his wife Ayesha and his children were sitting.
Curry reached out to his daughter Ryan and they shared an adorable celebratory handshake with each other. Curry has spoken several times in the past about how important his family is to him, and his interaction with his daughter here shows just how much he cares for them.

Curry and the Warriors will now be shifting their focus to the winner of the series between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Warriors will take their chances against either team after such a dominant first-round win. But some Warrior fans will hope that the Timberwolves upset the Grizzlies, considering that the Grizzlies had a 3-1 record against the Warriors during the course of the regular season.
Curry played the entire series against the Denver Nuggets while coming off the bench. Curry showed his selflessness and commitment to winning, as he didn’t have any problem coming off the bench so that Jordan Poole could start in his place.
Granted, Curry was coming off a pretty significant injury and layoff, so he was going to be on a minutes restriction for much of the series. But Curry displayed total professionalism by letting Poole start ahead of him for much of the series.
