Stephen Curry, fresh off a normal time that saw him make more three-point shots than any player in NBA history, arrived cautious, off his game and ice cold contrary to the Nuggets. Just one of Curry's first 10 shots found underneath of the net, and even though he recovered going to 6-of-10 in the next half, his early struggles must certanly be a cause for concern in Golden State. On another hand, Klay Thompson seemed confident, hostile and on the search for any scoring opportunities. Golden State's second-best three-point shooter (Thompson made 211 long weapons this past time, advantageous to third-most in the group) had 22 details and hit 10 of his 19 efforts from the subject. Clearly, Thompson had things easier than Curry did; Denver focused its entire defensive plan on crowding the Warriors point guard and Thompson rarely had to produce his or her own looks. But predicated on his temperament alone, Thompson certainly seemed more mentally prepared for the high strength of playoff motion. That's a large step for the second-year guard, just as much of his early career was noted by some poor gestures and a habit of holding his head when times got tough. Golden State should go so far as Curry may take it, but Thompson's attitude has clearly come a long way.
