Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors got off to a roaring start Saturday in Game 1 of their Western Conference First Round playoff series with the Houston Rockets.
Curry put up 24 points in the first half to help the Warriors take a 27-point halftime lead, and the reigning NBA champions cruised to a 104-78 victory.
Curry even set another NBA record.
It wasn’t all rainbows, though, as Curry left the game in the third quarter with a right ankle injury. He re-entered the game with both ankles taped and in braces, but apparently rolled his right ankle early in the second half.
He left the game with a noticeable limp on the right side.
Curry did return to the bench and reportedly was available if Golden State had needed him.
Game 2 of the series is Monday. It appears Curry isn’t quite a lock to play.
UPDATE: Curry seems a bit more confident in his availability, though.
