OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry has a well-established post-practice routine of taking 100 shots from 3-point range. He works his way around the arc, hoisting 10 shots from each spot. He once made 70 in a row. He often looks annoyed if the ball so much as glances off the rim before falling through.
Bruce Fraser, an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors, passes Curry the ball and can sense, having spent so much time with him over the past two seasons, if Curry lacks his usual focus. An average total for him is somewhere in the mid-80s, Fraser said.
