00:00 Steph, many of your teammates have come here and said that the downfall tonight is not getting after the 50-50 balls, the want to kind of get those hustle plays and have them go in your favor. Why do you think that is happening and how do you think that changes in Game 7?
00:19 STEPH CURRY, POSTGAME G7-HOU-GSW: You just gotta go do it. We were down, what, two going into the fourth, they are playing zone against us pretty much the whole second half and you can kind of look at the possession here at the start of the fourth, Fred getting an and-one three, that's a tough momentum play. Jabari got two threes off of a good hustle play and a tough turnover and then another offensive rebound that turned into a three that a possession here, possession there, it's not just the points on the board, it's a feeling, it's a vibe, it's a morale, it's momentum. And you gotta dig deep to win these type of games, so thankfully we have another opportunity to go do it. Very confident that we can go do it.
01:13 Steph, do you see some sense of hesitancy on some of your guys not to take the shot? Do you tell them, "Hey, it's okay if you miss or make, just take the shot?" Or do you want them to keep passing the ball, just trying to make sure the perfect shot's there?
01:28 There's a reason they're playing a zone for a whole half, pretty much, and they're trying to force a certain type of shot. Obviously, they want — I took probably four heavily contested deep threes just to try to kind of will us, but if they're gonna do that and they're gonna play zone and make certain guys shoot it, then it's the same way we talk about all season long, regular season playoffs, everybody's in this league for a reason. If you have a shot, take it. I don't need to say anything. Coach don't need to say anything. You're out there, be aggressive, look for your shot and we'll live with it. That's the name of the game. The shots that we're creating or the shots that are open, keep taking them.
02:27 Do you have to — as you look at this zone, I mean, do you feel like you're getting the looks you want? I mean, just going back to that answer, do you just feel like you need to keep doing the same thing and hopefully your other guys make those shots or do you guys need to attack this zone different?
02:45 Well, it's probably a little bit of both. I mean, I don't know if it's a surprise or it might be a little bit of surprise that they played that much zone, but I think we could probably look at a little bit more film and see where those shots are, see where those driving lanes are. Obviously, when you drive, they have Steven Adams in the middle of the paint waiting on you, so, whether that's a drive to a kick, to a swing that's going to get you a step-in three, I think we can be a little bit more patient on certain possessions, but you have to make shots at the end of the day. Fred hit some big momentum ones, Jabari hit some big momentum ones. Those can swing momentum again, so for us, don't panic. Just make the necessary adjustments and understand how they're defending us and we should be all right.
03:50 Steph, you and Draymond have five Game 7s together and Jimmy's played in four of them — over here. Where does that Game 7 experience factor in the most when you're actually in a Game 7. Where — how does it help you guys the most?
04:10 Just the confidence that no matter how it looks, we can get it done. We need to be composed. We need to be able to manage the emotions of the next 48 hours, again, not panic, but have a sense of urgency on the adjustments that we need to make going into Game 7 and how to deal with a hostile environment. I think we've had one in that building before and you understand the crowd's…
