Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry knows what his team needs to do to force a Game 7 when they meet the Lakers in Game 6 on Friday.
Curry and the Warriors forced Game 6 on Wednesday after beating the Lakers 121-106.
The defending NBA champions have come back from 3-1 down before, but their dynasty has shown ominous signs of wilting after they lost Games 3 and 4.
However, they refused to die in Game 5. Curry was decent in game 5, scoring 27 points, but it was Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins who stepped up.
Green finished with 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting, 10 rebounds, and two steals. This was his second 20-point game this postseason, per ESPN.
Wiggins had 25 points on 10-of-18 shooting, seven rebounds, and five assists. Klay Thompson struggled all game, finishing with only 10 points on 3-of-12 shooting from the floor and 2-of-6 from three.
Curry on what Warriors Game 6 plans
Speaking after the game, the 35-year-old said they must keep the momentum and not throw it away like they did in Game 4.
“It’s just the mentality of taking hold of momentum and not giving them any life,” Curry said. “So if we can get out to a good start and then take care of those margin plays, a couple of turnovers, offensive rebounds, whatever it is, I think we’ll be in great shape and give ourselves a chance to come out with a win on the road,” via NBC Sports.
