Stephen Curry shines with 28 points, 5 threes off bench as Warriors defeat Pelicans in Game 2
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry scored 28 points (8-of-15 field goals, 5-of-10 3-pointers) with 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 6 turnovers in 27.2 minutes of Tuesday's 121-116 Game 2 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Curry was a clean 7-for-7 at the free throw line, and other than the turnovers, he didn't appear to skip a beat after missing all of April and most of March due to a knee injury. He came off the bench on Tuesday night but is expected to return to the starting lineup for Game 3 on Friday in New Orleans.
Steph scored 42.4 FanDuel points in his postseason debut on Tuesday.
