Explain One Play: Stephen Curry torments Blake Griffin and drops 37 on Durant and Harden's Nets
I think Steph doesn't like that fella
A list of all Explain One Play articles and videos is at The new Explain One Play index.
Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have had a long history of conflict with Blake Griffin. In the 2021.11.16.GSW-BRK game, Steph picked on Blake repeatedly and rained multiple threes over him and most other defenders that the Brooklyn Nets sent.
We look at Steph’s scoring, the plays that got him open, the peculiar soft trap that the Nets were using, and just generally admire the most entertaining player of his generation. Co-starring Damion Lee, Nemanja Bjelica, Kevon Looney, Draymond Green and Otto Porter Jr. Also with Kevin Durant, Bruce Brown and Patty Mills.

I saw a post on reddit re: the play at Q1 7:12 saying it was just like old times: Steph to Dray to KD for the touch pass back to Steph for three 😂
