HOUSTON — For most players, back-to-back off shooting nights wouldn’t be enough to qualify as a slump. But Stephen Curry isn’t most players; he’s a two-time MVP, the most skilled high-volume marksman in NBA history, and a revolutionary offensive weapon.
Through the first two games of the Western Conference finals, Curry has searched for his shot and largely come up empty, hunting deep looks early in the clock, stepping into pull-ups in hopes of catching a rhythm, and going back for more following misses. It’s a stunning sight when the most bankable guy in the building is firing blanks.
