Recently Matthew Dellavedova was being praised as a defensive juggernaut due to his ability to stop Stephen Curry, the league MVP and arguably the greatest shooter ever. Curry was reportedly annoyed with all the talk surrounding Delly and unleashed on the court during game 5 on Sunday night.
via the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Sources within the Warriors’ organization say they were “pissed off” and “irked” by the media attention Dellavedova was receiving and the narrative of the Australian “locking down” the league’s MVP.
As for Curry, he was annoyed too, I’m told.
“People have lit a fire under Steph, which is good thing,” Andrew Bogut told NEOMG. “It’s something that you don’t want to do. It worked out well. We know Delly is a great defender, but we know he’s not a Curry stopper.”
Yup, it was definitely a good thing that a fire was lit under Steph because last night he started looking like his old self again.
Curry showed off his impressive ball handling skills and shook Dellavedova repeatedly and then knocked down several shots. Here’s three of those plays.
The Warriors beat the Cavaliers 104-91. Stephen Curry finished with 37 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists while Matthew Dellavedova finished with 5 points, 0 rebounds and 2 assists.
