Omri Casspi had the rare honor of sharing the postgame interview room podium with Stephen Curry Wednesday night after the Warriors’ impressive victory over Minnesota, and Casspi definitely earned the spotlight love.
Closely studying Casspi’s numbers on the stat sheet handout during their joint session, Curry could have said any number of nice things about the game his new teammate had played. Instead, he chose to cite Casspi’s five fouls in 20 minutes.
“You were almost in the hacking club tonight,” said Curry with a wry grin, drawing a guilty-as-charged chuckle from Casspi.
Only moments before, someone asked Casspi why he was perspiring during the interview session.
