The Golden State Warriors always tend to come back strong from such disasters, so we think. Curry who tried to help his team win spoke about the fourth quarter upset saying, “It’s not ideal, but we believe in who we are and how we deal with adversity.

“You know they have a team that just finds a little bit of momentum like they did and they keep making shots, so it’s tough to kind of regain that momentum. And the guys that are obviously making the shots, Al, Marcus, Derrick White, Jaylen early in the fourth, they played well,” he said. “We know they are a good team, so we’ve gotta respond on Sunday.”

Boston tried to hold off all the scorers on the Dubs roster. Based on that, Sharpe continued saying, “There was no (Jordan) Poole party… Steph understands the intensity that comes along with it.
