PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL)
00:00 Steph, when you were here in December, you went 0-for-7. Did that play into tonight? Any motivation?
00:10 STEPH CURRY: I would be — honest, I had — I actually forgot that fact. I was just kind of more focused on how big this game was for us. The intentionality that we came out with in the first quarter was just a great game plan to understand how they guard us. I think I thought about their style. They try to junk up the game on defense, top-locks and trying to send me into the paint and traffic and all that. We had a counter for that to start the game, but other than that, it was just trying to win a big game and embracing the moment.
00:43 How'd you hit on this trip, golfed a couple times?
00:46 I know Steve's talking, but when I golf, good things happen. You just fill the cup up. Everybody has their thing and, for me, yeah, have a beach, being outside, is always nice.
00:55 How rejuvenated do you feel from maybe the week off, maybe the golf, whatever?
01:00 Body feels good. It is been a good trend, I think. I hadn't played an intense game like that in a while since, obviously, before the injury and still wearing the pad back there and trying to protect myself, but other than that, feeling a good rhythm. The week off definitely helped in that sense where the tank is pretty full and you want to try to maintain that for as long as we can down the stretch.
01:32 How much do you feel the pad or not?
01:34 I'm used to it from three years ago, yeah. So it was different then. This was — I know what to expect.
01:40 How long do you think you're gonna have to wear it?
01:44 I'm not sure, but probably the rest of the regular season, at least.
01:47 Hey, Steph, you were just, one three-pointer away from tying your career high of 13 threes and now you hit 12 of them. Did you know before the game that you was going to have one of these type of nights, where you just gonna go off, be in the zone like this?
02:00 Nah, my whole career, I've never really thought that way. You have confidence, you prepare yourself, but it's never a results-based thing. It's just understanding the work you put in. I did shoot it well this morning at shootaround, so you kind of feel good and have confidence, but you never think it's gonna be a 50 night. But the first quarter was just rhythm and decisiveness and the byproduct of good preparation for this game and then the rest kind of, you just flow off of that.
02:34 You kind of mentioned it earlier, but what specifically were they doing trying to stop you defensively and what's the best way and the way that you exploited that?
02:43 The main point, they just tried to take the ball outta your hands. Last time we were here, my shot attempts were way down just 'cause they were top-locking pretty much at 94 feet and just trying to keep the ball outta your hands and then you're not able to get a rhythm and they have, obviously, Wells who took the assignment on their game plan last game and this game. They got Jaren Jackson, Defensive Player of the Year behind. They got Zach Edey, seven-foot-plus. They got size everywhere, so they try to just funnel you into traffic and…

07:34 JA MORANT: Yeah, the main guy on the scout shouldn't have 52 points.
07:38 Ja, what will it take for you guys to get back in the (inaudible)?
07:47 Pretty much what I said, is locking in to the game plan, knowing your personnel, being disciplined. You have the greatest shooter in the world. He shouldn't even attempt that much threes.
