Steph Curry was incredible – Steve Kerr lauds star guard after GSW beat Milwaukee Bucks

Golden State Warriors had lost their last three matches before they took on a potent unit of Milwaukee Bucks. The Dubs star guard Steph Curry got his team back to winning ways as he top-scored with 36 points to lead them to a 125-116 Overtime win on Saturday night.

With 19 seconds left in the regulation time, Steph Curry bamboozled Jevon Carter to score a three-pointer and level the score. Curry was at his best and the Bucks players didn’t have many answers to his assault.

“I was tired,” Curry said. “Slow walk to the bench, take advantage of the full three-minute timeout. Don’t yell because that requires oxygen. Conserve energy.”

Furthermore, Curry also made a crucial block with 2.2 seconds left in the regulation as he blocked Jrue Holiday’s shot.

“When you [make] a couple of big shots down the stretch and then find yourself in a position to make a play on the other side, I think that gives everybody a good boost,” Curry said. “I think I got more compliments on that in the locker room than any shot I made tonight.”

“It was great to see him use the rules of verticality and get that block,” Draymond Green said.

The team’s head coach Steve Kerr also showered praise on Curry for his all-round performance.

“Steph was incredible, and he did it against one of the great defenders in Jrue Holiday,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s amazing watching those two guys battle. Steph is fearless. It doesn’t matter if there is a slow start or if he hasn’t had much going, he can ignite at any time.”

In fact, the Bucks had an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter but Curry and Co. were able to bounce back with some impressive play.

“It’s the challenge of bringing execution and focus,” Curry said. “Even when things aren’t going your way — that fourth quarter when they take an eight-point lead — and you slowly walk them down, that’s the belief you have to have that we can do.”

GSW will next play Phoenix Suns on Monday night.
