HOUSTON — Golden State's record-setting run toward a second consecutive NBA championship may come down to an MRI on the sprained right knee of Stephen Curry.
The NBA's reigning MVP missed the second half of a win over the Houston Rockets in Game 4 on Sunday and was expected to have the medical test later Monday.
The Warriors have plenty of talent, but being without Curry for an extended time would present a serious challenge to their repeat bid. It would also change the dynamics of the playoffs, and not just in the Western Conference, where San Antonio finished the regular season not far behind Golden State.
