But with Joel Embiid present and leading the team in full-form, he surely did not allow the 33-years-old marquee shooter form downtown to register that empathic court.
To those who missed the Warriors vs 76ers showdown, Curry was well below his best as he managed to knock only 18 points, being 3-of-14-from downtown.
