OAKLAND – A pitcher for the Angels, who are in town for a series against the A’s, had the temerity to challenge Stephen Curry to a basketball game on Tuesday.
Temerity prevailed.
Well, actually, Joe Smith won.
This basketball game, truth be told, was P-I-G. And Smith had help, as he got help from several teammates – including Albert Pujols and Mike Trout – in wearing down and eventually knocking off Curry at the team’s downtown Oakland practice facility.
While five different Angels took turns shooting, Curry did all of his own work.
