Brothers will be brothers, even in the NBA’s Western Conference Finals.
In this particular case, that means a younger brother trying to jinx his older brother’s free throws with a little chatter. In Thursday’s Game 2, the Seth Curry was resorted to mind games in order to help the series-trailing Blazers hold their narrow fourth-quarter lead as Stephen Curry was at the line. The NBA’s all-time best free throw shooter, Curry sank the first shot, before Seth stepped toward him from behind the arc and said, “That’s like 70 in a row…”
Stephen Curry coolly responded, “’Bout to be 72.” The big brother was right, the jinx did not work, and the Warriors went on to win the game.
