Welcome to the wonderful world of vintage Steph Curry, a world in which he can get hot at any time, anywhere, no matter the team he is playing for.
Curry went into high gear the second the ball dropped for Team USA's exhibition match-up against Serbia, scoring 18 points in the first 11 minutes. He finished the game with 24 points and made it easy from the jump to help the USA cruise to an easy win over Serbia 105-79.
"Warriors fans are hating me tonight," Steve Kerr joked. "They hate me every time I take Steph out."
"I'm pretty sure I get started like I did tonight in the second quarter [in the Olympics] and I probably wouldn't come out at that point," Curry said.
"Bam and AD together are really something, just the switching, but they can also protect the rim and be in a drop if we go to that coverage," Kerr said. "The strength of the team is the depth, and so if we can play in four- or five-minute bursts of just playing intense defense, hitting bodies, rebounding being physical, then it makes sense to play that way."
"We've still got so much room to improve," LeBron James said. "But we want to continue to get better and not waste opportunities, I felt like tonight we got better."
