OKLAHOMA CITY — For the first time in nearly three months, since his 37-footer heard ’round the basketball world, Stephen Curry walked into Chesapeake Energy Arena on Saturday.
The stakes are a little higher now. Back then, on Feb. 27, the Warriors were merely trying to complete a long road trip on a triumphant note. This time, Sunday night in Game 3 or Tuesday night in Game 4, they need a win to reclaim home-court advantage in the Western Conference finals.
Curry brings along good mojo in the home of the Thunder — where he scored 46 points on that previous visit, including the most memorable shot of a season overflowing with memorable shots.
