NBA Playoffs: Steph Curry and Golden State Warriors Face Must-Win Game 7 After Crushing Collapse
In a heart-stopping turn of events, the Golden State Warriors, led by Steph Curry, have found themselves on the brink of elimination after a devastating collapse in Game 6 against the Houston Rockets. The Warriors, who once held a commanding 3-1 series lead, are now staring down a do-or-die Game 7. This is not an unfamiliar scenario for Curry and the Warriors, as fans are quick to remind them of their infamous meltdown in the 2016 NBA Finals against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Warriors’ woes began in the fourth quarter of Game 6, where they were outscored 29-23, with Curry faltering late, going 1-for-7 and adding only three points. The team’s overall performance was lackluster, shooting just 8-for-24 and a dismal 1-for-12 from beyond the arc. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with one fan saying, "Curry no stranger to blowing 3-1 leads," and another adding, "Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead would feed families."
Despite the criticism, Curry has a chance to redeem himself in Game 7, which is scheduled for Sunday in Houston. The winner will advance to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference semifinals. Historically, Curry has performed well in Game 7s, posting averages of 32.6 points, 7.0 assists, and 6.4 rebounds across five appearances. His best Game 7 performance came in 2023 against the Sacramento Kings, where he erupted for 50 points.
As the Warriors prepare for the high-stakes game, fans are on edge, with some vowing to abandon the team if they fail to come out on top. "Warriors blow a 3-1 lead and y’all might never see me again," one fan said, while another added, "I’m never watching basketball again and supporting Steph again." The pressure is on Curry and the Warriors to deliver, and their performance on Sunday will be closely watched by fans around the world.
In the end, the fate of the Warriors’ season rests on the outcome of Game 7. Will they be able to overcome their past mistakes and emerge victorious, or will they succumb to the pressure and suffer another crushing defeat? One thing is certain – the world will be watching as Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors take on the Houston Rockets in what promises to be an unforgettable game.
