Speaking after the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr praised Curry’s performance.
“You just have to remind yourself every once in a while, big picture, that this is one of the greatest players in the history of the game,’ he said following the series-clinching victory. That’s how I felt back in my playing days with Michael Jordan. For Steph to be the first player ever to get 50 in a Game 7, he’s sublime,” he said.
