Steph Curry on Game 7 win over Sacramento
With their Game 7 win over Sacramento, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors have advanced to the Western Conference semifinals. This comes after Golden State was in dire straits after trailing 2-0 early on in its first-round series against the Kings.
However, the Warriors overcame the odds by winning four of their next five games. Per ESPN, they are now the first Warriors team to overcome a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series (1-9). Following Game 7, Curry spoke about how Golden State is not going to take the opportunity to advance for granted:
“It's amazing because you're still in the fight,” Curry said.
“Better than the alternative of on the outside looking in. Having been down 0-2 in this series, nothing was guaranteed, you don't take anything for granted.”
Curry added that the Warriors love being able to keep proving people wrong:
“We're defying the odds by still playing at this high of a level,” Curry said.
“I know everybody wants to see you fail. That's kind of the nature of where we're at right now. We love when we still prove a lot of people wrong. It's part of our vibe now.”
Golden State will next take on the LA Lakers in Round 2. This proved to be a tough matchup for the Warriors in the regular season. This comes as the Warriors lost their season series against the Lakers 3-1.
Game 1 between the Warriors and Lakers will take place on Tuesday in San Francisco.
