“I actually hit my elbow again, so I was a little frustrated about that”, Curry said.

OAKLAND-Stephen Curry went over the breach, into unsafe ground, and his elbow was the clearest casualty on Wednesday.
“Looks like it has a tennis ball on top of it”, Curry said after the Warriors’ 118-91 Game 2 victory, maybe just a bit proudly. “There’s just some pain, so I’ll be all right”.
The Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has acknowledged God after winning a historic first unanimous – and also his second straight – Most Valuable Player award on May 10, which straightaway places him in the National Basketball Association (NBA) Hall of Fame.
“The man’s the best in the league at going on runs, so we expect those bursts from him from time to time”, Klay Thompson said.
With the win, the Warriors spoiled a magnificent 29-point performance from Thunder star Kevin Durant and evened the series at one game apiece before it shifts back to OKC for Games 3 and 4. Curry continued to find amusement in an injury that couldn’t stop him from lighting up the Thunder yet would’ve been agonizing had the Warriors gone down two games to none heading to Oklahoma City.
Festus Ezeli scored 12 points for his first game in double digits these playoffs, Marreese Speights had 13 points off the bench, and Golden State didn’t falter after halftime the way it did two nights earlier in losing Game 1 108-102.
But they got the MVP going-and Curry got them going-after he flew into the stands, came out OK, and then couldn’t be stopped. Then, he took out any remaining frustrations from Monday’s loss on the Thunder.
“I did not even notice the knot on his elbow”, Kerr said, “so I have no concern over it”. “I mean, flying over seats like that you don’t know if it’s a leg, if it’s an elbow, his head”. “I think all of those guys were unanimous decisions too”.
Two years ago, Curry hurled his mouthpiece after not getting a call in a first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers and went on a 20-point rampage in less than eight minutes. It’s been like that since I’ve been back.
With the Warriors ahead 22-16 and still searching for a spark, Curry went chasing after a ball along the sideline.

“We’re upset”, Durant said.
