POOR ANDRE ROBERSON. Through furious hard work, the 24-year-old had become the Thunder's best wing defender, nightly hustling after a who's who of high-scoring All-Stars all over the court. Typically he ends up looking good.
Until Saturday, Feb. 27, when Roberson played defense the way it has always been coached, and somehow became the crash-test dummy in Steph Curry's Electric Highlight of the Year. Roberson's crime: He didn't see it coming. And by "it" we mean something that had never happened before.
With the clock running down in overtime and the game tied, Roberson was marking the Warriors' MVP guard -- the man who had already made 11 3-pointers that night alone, one off the NBA record.
