At the end of the Warriors 2012-13 season following a Game 6 loss to San Antonio in the Western Conference semifinals, Stephen Curry suggested that Golden State wasn’t far away from winning a title.
At the time he might have sounded crazy. But Curry turned out to be right.
“For us to get to the level we got to this year, two wins away from the Spurs to get to the Western Conference Finals, you feel like you have the confidence to do it, the right pieces to do it,” Curry said during 2013 player exit interviews.
