Stephen Curry had 22 points in the Golden State Warriors' Game 7 victory over the Houston Rockets. The future Hall of Famer did not have to carry all the burden thanks to Buddy Hield's 33-point explosion, which is arguably a much better path to winning than Curry needing to go fully off with one of his classic 50-point performances. So perhaps that's why Curry averaged 24.0 points in the series. Or it's because at his advanced age he's just not capable of getting the to the half-century mark any longer.
That's Charles Barkley's stance, which he shared on Inside the NBA before Game 7.
