Stephen Curry Says Warriors Had ‘F*** You’ Mentality In Game 6 Against Rockets

Stephen Curry brought the Golden State Warriors to the Western Conference Finals, scoring 33 second half points in a 118-113 win over the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of the semifinals.

Curry was excited and proud that he led his team to victory and the moment was showcased during the latest episode of “Stephen vs. The Game” on Facebook Watch. 

“I was hyped because I had heard all the noise going into that game,” Curry said. “Honestly, I think we had a little of that f-k you mentality.”

Curry faced some troubles in Game 6 as he missed all six of his shot attempts in the first half. Regardless, the Warriors star ended up finishing with 33 points on 9-of-20 shooting and connected on four shots from beyond the arc.

The Warriors came away with a hard-fought victory which was won without Kevin Durant, who was out of the lineup due to the calf injury that he suffered in Game 5 against Houston.

Curry also shared his thoughts regarding Durant’s injury and admitted that “the air came out of the entire building.”

“The air came out of the entire building when they saw him limping,” Curry said. “Took a timeout, everyone kind of looked at each on the bench. We knew what we had to do. Everybody had to step their game up, and those next 14 minutes were pretty awesome in terms of responding.”

Unfortunately for Curry, being shorthanded is something that the Warriors are going to have to get used to, as Durant left the team to sign a four-year maximum contract with the Brooklyn Nets. In addition, Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and will likely be sidelined for the majority of the 2019-20 season.

However, guard D’Angelo Russell has joined the team in a sign-and-trade, so he’ll hopefully be able to take some of the pressure off of Curry in the backcourt.
