Following the win, Curry had a strong message for NBA fans who have counted them out.
”All the Twitter fingers who’s got deals that we need to make can kind of shut up a little bit and let us figure this thing out,” Curry said. “We know we can be competitive, we showed that toughness tonight. ...We’ve been great for a very long time, this is just a unique year. ...We have a whole lot of confidence that we can beat anybody.”
