Tonight, everything tilts. Every pass could be your last. Every possession is a referendum. Every cut across the lane leaves a vapor trail of legacy. The Golden State Warriors, bloodied and battered, are one loss away from an offseason of questions. And if they’re going out, they’re going out with Stephen Curry riding point.
It’s Game 7 in Houston. Again.

You want to talk about big game hunters? Let’s talk about the chef who’s been cooking when the kitchen’s hottest. Curry has averaged 32.6 points, 7.0 assists, and 6.4 rebounds over the five Game 7’s he’s experienced, with his Dubs going 3-2 in those contests.
Before the dynasty was even a twinkle in Joe Lacob’s eye, Curry was dropping 33 and seven triples on the Clippers in 2014 while Jermaine O’Neal labored up and down the court. The Dubs lost, but the basketball gods took notice.
Then came 2016. The comeback from 3-1 against OKC. Curry casually tossing 36 points on Durant and Westbrook’s championship dreams like he was returning unwanted mail. Oracle trembled. The Finals beckoned.
Until Cleveland happened. The block. The shot. That behind-the-back turnover that still haunts my dreams. LeBron and Kyrie ripped 73-9 from the history books and rewrote it as a Greek tragedy.
2018? Houston again. Game 7. CP3 nursing his hamstring on the sideline while the Rockets bricked 27 straight threes. Curry? Just another day at the office: 27 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds. Dynasty validated.
And Sacramento 2023? Fifty. Five-zero. Not a typo. Curry didn’t just silence the cowbells – he melted them down and forged a crown. Most points ever in a Game 7. The Kings’ beam dimmed permanently that night.
Call me delusional but these psychos would blow a 3-1 lead just to win game 7 Jimmy blew a 3-0 lead just to win game 7 a couple years agoSteph and Dray are at their best when counted out

CURRY’S GAME 7 STATISTICAL BREAKDOWN:
- Games Played: 5
- Record: 3-2
- Average in Wins: 37.7 points
- Average in Losses: 25.0 points
- Road Record: 2-1
- Biggest Performance: 50 burger in Sacramento
- Toughest Loss: 2016 Finals collapse
- Tonight: Returning to the Toyota Center to eliminate Dillon Brooks
The Rockets clawed back from 3-1 like zombies who don’t know they’re supposed to stay dead. They’ve suffocated Golden State with length, youth, and the audacity of a team with nothing to lose. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler’s fighting through his pelvic injury, Draymond Green has his hands full with Houston’s giants Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams, and our supporting cast is trying to figure out how to attack Houston’s defense when they collapse on Curry and Butler.
Game 6 was basketball horror. Curry dropped 29 that somehow felt like spare change found in the couch. Butler managed 27. The rest of the squad? A combined 13 points. That’s not a basketball stat – that’s a lunch order. The Dubs will need to take care of the ball to make sure they at least get some good possessions.
Legacy isn’t built on stat sheets – it’s carved from moments when everything’s on the line. Tonight adds either another chapter to the Curry mythology or gives the talking heads ammunition for a summer of hot takes about Golden State’s window slamming shut.
They’re Father Time remains undefeated, even against Curry. But before the clock runs out on this chapter, expect one more masterpiece.
This is where the basketball movie slows down. Where the soundtrack swells. Where the lights dim and focus on that familiar silhouette walking to center court, mouthguard dangling, eyes locked on immortality.
It’s Game 7.
And Stephen Curry is about to write his next chapter.
