The details of that struggle have been forgotten, but they're important to highlight for comparison's sake: In Game 1 last year, Curry was 4-of-15, scoring 11 points. The Warriors won by 15, so the poor performance didn't matter, but it was a sign of things to come.
While Curry had some solid performances — he was stellar in Game 3 — he still shot 40 percent from the field in last year's Finals. And when the Cavs figured out that he wasn't finishing at the rim and didn't have the legs to shoot from 30-plus feet, the series changed.
