‘Only 18′: Did Steph Curry Take a Shot at Lakers Amid Free Throw Controversy After Warriors Victory on Sunday?
Steph Curry is someone who never shy away from talking about decisions which go against the Warriors in a game. He recently poked fun at Lakers after getting to know about their free throw stats.
Everyone who follows the NBA knows that the Los Angeles Lakers shoot a lot of free throws, but none more than Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. For that reason, Curry had to celebrate when he learned the Lakers' free throw statistics on Saturday night.
The Lakers shot 18 free throws while the Warriors shot 15, a statistic that immediately made him happy after the game.
"Only 18 free throws!" Steph Curry joked after the game. "Yeah!"
Steph has talked about the free throw disparity in the past
Even though Steph Curry is being sly in his response, there is some validity to his joke. In their January meeting, the Lakers made 43 free throws compared to the Warriors' 16 attempts. All that Steph Curry wants is consistency.
"I just feel as long as it's consistent either way, whatever the tone of the game is, that helps everybody out there just play a good brand of basketball," Curry stated.
"Just go hoops, don't whine. Things get a little crazy and divert your attention when it becomes one-sided or the opposite and you start to feel that way."
Given the current situation, a play-in tournament matchup between the Warriors and Lakers is highly likely. Again, when that occurs, free throws will probably be the primary topic of conversation during the game.
Steph’s return from injury
The talisman for the Golden State Warriors missed four games after getting injured against the Chicago Bulls but he came back with a bang and led the Warriors to a much-needed victory against the LA Lakers.
Curry had a sublime game as he scored 31 points and got the better of LeBron James even though the Lakers star scored a massive 40 points in the game.
