The Golden State Warriors have stayed competitive in the playoffs against a tough opponent like the Houston Rockets. To reach this level, Stephen Curry has been essential, leading the offense at 37 years old.

SAN FRANCISCO – Facing the league’s most physical and handsy defense without his fearless co-star, the Warriors asked 37-year-old Steph Curry to put the offense on his shoulders in the third game of Golden State’s Western Conference playoff series with the Houston Rockets.

Stephen Curry had 36 points, and the Warriors delivered perhaps their gutsiest performance of the season in a 104-93 win to take a 2-1 series lead over the Rockets.
