Q. You’ve won five series now in Houston. What do you think your reputation is in the city? Stephen Curry: I’m a winner. Q. Steph, all that you’ve been through with Draymond in your 13 years, it looked like at the end of the game you walked up to him and pointed into the maybe the stands or up at the scoreboard. What can you share what you said to him and then also when you guys were walking off? I think Draymond was screaming ‘surprise, surprise!’. Stephen Curry: We were just talking about the score. We wanted to keep them under 90. We had done it a couple times and we won. And we felt very confident that if we could do that again, we’d be able to score enough to create some separation. And that’s kind of how it played out.

Stephen Curry is having the best guard season ever for a player of his age (36 or older).
I think that’s very safe to say now, right? – 4:50 AM

Buddy Hield just said on @NBAonTNT that the Warriors held an emotional team meeting led by Steph Curry, Draymond Green & Jimmy Butler after game 6. He said it fueled this game 7 win. What a testament of leadership, & how about Jimmy earning respect to lead like that. #dubnation – 11:22 PM

HALF: Warriors 51, Rockets 39. Rockets held Steph Curry to 1-7 shooting, but … Buddy Hield is 8-9 from the field and 6-7 from three in the first half for 22 points. He’s gone full Klay Thompson on the Rockets. – 9:39 PM
