In a commercial for Kaiser Permanente last season, Stephen Curry proclaimed that every challenge that he faced was won or lost in his mind.
In last night’s Game 3 of the 2019 Western Conference Finals, Curry’s commercial rang true for both the Golden State Warriors and Portland Trailblazers, and reminded those watching in the Moda Center and at home that the game of basketball is not only a game of runs but also a mental game of wills.
The Warriors have it. The Blazers don't and consequently, they are on the verge of getting swept out of the playoffs as a result.
