Explain One Play: Curry gravity and Steph-backs in Q3 break open Warriors-Suns revenge game
Will Jordan Poole and Landry Shamet find true love?
A list of all Explain One Play articles and videos is at The new Explain One Play index.
The Suns-Warriors game on 2021.12.03.PHX-GSW was a revenge game. The Suns had Devin Booker out and lost Mikal Bridges for a little bit. And they're also on a back-to-back. So you do want to see the Warriors win this game with that advantage. On the other hand, it's nice to see that it was a blowout. This is a live reaction to the beginning of the third quarter, which is a part of the game I missed.
Here we’ll see a few Warriors adjustments and some smooth offensive moves, and another chapter in the soap opera of whether Jordan Poole and Landry Shamet will find true love.
Co-starring Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, Andrew Wiggins, and Jordan Poole. Also with Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, and Landry Shamet who’s free, free-fallin’.

I’m starting to get worried. Mrs. Goofus has become a fan of E1P’s and laughs at Apricot’s jokes more than mine.
You probably have to have a PHD in cosmology (something Draymond has) to fully understand the impact Curry's gravity has on the offensive side of the court. Can anyone remember one play in the finals against CLE, 2 on 1 gsw fastbreak, Curry teammate has ball on a straight drive to hoop while Curry veers off to spot up left side 3 point line. The defender LEFT the ball, chose to guard the empty-handed Curry while Curry teammate walked into an unguarded layup. Maybe #1 on my list for the power of Curry.
