Can the Warriors Defy the Odds and Thrive Without Steph Curry?
As you’d expect, the Warriors offense is much worse in those games without Curry. The team scored 115.0 points per game when Curry played this season and 106.9 when he didn’t. Their field goal percentage, 3-point percentage and number of assists were all down without Curry.
Where the team was able to succeed was on defense, allowing 105.8 points per game in games Curry didn’t play and 111.3 when he did. It’ll be the defense that has to continue to save the day.
A big part of Game 1 was the Timberwolves missing 3-pointers. They’ve now shot an unfathomably bad 12 of 76 (15.8%) on 3s over their last two playoff games.
