From the outset, Butler was a force to be reckoned with, driving to the basket with unmatched strength and agility, racking up an impressive 34 points. His defensive tenacity was equally remarkable, as he consistently disrupted Memphis’s offensive flow, leading the league in steals since February. Meanwhile, Curry demonstrated why he is hailed as the greatest shooter in NBA history, hitting six three-pointers and finishing the game with 33 points. His signature pump fakes confused the Grizzlies’ defense, allowing him to find open looks and sink critical shots down the stretch.
