Steph Curry's defense is underrated

Known for his sharp shooting from anywhere on the court, the defense of Steph Curry is overseen by many except Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who gets to observe his star player daily.

Kerr praised the Warriors for playing excellent defense, spearheaded by Curry, as they avoided a second-half run by the young and rebuilding Detroit Pistons.

“I liked our defense down the stretch. We got a bunch of stops. We couldn’t get a rebound. But Steph’s on-ball defense was fantastic. I think he’s so underrated on that end. Everybody tries to go at him for good reason to try to tire him out," Kerr said in the post-game press conference.

During the Warriors' 120-109 win over the Pistons, Curry was shooting lights out, tallying 34 points and sinking seven three-pointers in the process. He got help from Klay Thompson and Chris Paul who had 17 points each.

Dario Saric scored 12 points and six rebounds off the bench to keep the Pistons at bay.

After facing the defending champion Denver Nuggets, the Golden State Warriors will play their next six games at home at the Chase Center from November 11 to 20.
