OAKLAND, Calif. -- Stephen Curry's hair was quite a bit longer when the Golden State Warriors run of Finals appearances started back in 2015. His body was quite a bit spryer back then, too. But as the NBA world focuses intently on the Warriors' future -- with Kevin Durant approaching free agency -- Curry and his teammates have been looking a lot like the original group that started this dynastic run.
"That's when we first learned to play like this," Curry told ESPN late Tuesday night after scoring 36 points in a 116-94 rout of the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
