Austin Reaves trying to explain why he collected…
Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry talks with the media ahead of Tuesday night’s NBA Play-In Tournament game against the Sacramento Kings.
On the eve of another win-or-go-home matchup against the Sacramento Kings, Warriors coach Steve Kerr had plenty of praise for Steph Curry’s epic Game 7 performance in last season’s first-round NBA playoff series, even referencing an Austin Reaves meme.
When asked by reporters during a press conference Monday, Kerr was asked his take on Curry’s historic 50-point game against the Kings to clinch the Game 7 victory.
“He’s one of the great clutch players in the history of the league, we know that,” Kerr said. “I think he led the league in player efficiency this year and clutch minutes. We’ve seen him win championships, win Finals MVP, I mean Steph Curry is Steph Curry.
So, that performance did not surprise me because he’s that guy. ‘He’s him,’ I think Austin Reaves said. What I remember about that game is that we extended a lead at the end of the third, I think we went into the fourth up by 12 or something and so we had timeouts saved up.
“And the conversation you’re referring to I think I was telling him we can take a timeout anytime you want just to get a couple of minutes of rest. And we were able to control that fourth quarter, but he was so sublime.”
