• Stephen Curry postgame Game 3, on the 2nd quarter: “…especially on the road… when the game stops it’s not in our favor… understand momentum… two different styles of play… there’s a turnover where me and Klay had a miscommunication… then a barrage of whistles… we gotta respond.”
• On momentum and tendencies from one game to the next: “…especially because of how drastically different we play…”
• On Reaves with Vanderbilt lurking: “…I knew they were not gonna trap and let us get 4-on-3… gotta shoot the ball better as a team… connecting the game issue for us… XXX it always is for us…”
• On navigating through: “…not get distracted by stuff that you can’t control… test that every team has to go through… all the things we always say after a loss…”
• On not looking happy on the turnover with Klay: “…making a read for somebody else. Cardinal sin for a point guard… frustrated by the fact that I threw because I saw the whole thing from start to finish.”
• On getting to the next level: “How many series have we been in?… a lot of different scenarios… we’ve responded… sit up here with a lot of confidence… just gotta go do it… that’s the beauty of a series… throw this one in the garbage… get the game at our pace and our speed. We’ve shown we can do it. We gotta show it again.”
• On how to stop the game from spiraling out of control: “We struggled more this year for sure because of — for whatever reason… whole tone of the game changes… not a good feeling when you’re trying to just settle in… last series proved that we could figure it out and overcome those challenges. Unfortunately we gotta do it again… not ideal in terms [transmission cuts out].”
