#2 Stephen Curry was not ready to let this one slip easily
The 2-time MVP was well aware of the dearth of offensive production when the Warriors took the floor for Game 3. He raced off to a blazing 17-point first quarter (on 4-8 shooting from beyond the arc) matching his most in the period for the postseason.
He had 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals to go along with his stellar individual scoring performance. In his 43 minutes on the court, Curry shot 14 free-throws and missed just one.
He finished the game with a playoff-career-high total of 47 points, (on 6-of-14 shooting from the three-point line) but apparently it wasn't enough to lead his side to victory. This was the second most points scored by any player in a Finals loss. And we can all guess who the first on this list would be. Well, LeBron James' 51 points in the Game 1 loss of the Finals last year.
The 2-time MVP's headstrong scoring in Game 3 also meant that he became only the 9th player to score 45 points or more in an NBA Finals game.
Guess the Lakers players!
