Steph Curry and Team USA triumphed in an 86-72 exhibition win against Canada at the T-Mobile Center. Playing alongside other top-notch NBA players, Curry felt like he was back in the “Supervillains” era of the Warriors. His biggest challenge has been adjusting to the different types of shots he’s getting, as explained by his observations and coach Erik Spoelstra’s insights.
During the game, Curry entertained the crowd with highlights, including a fastbreak alley-oop to LeBron James and a spectacular layup despite being tripped by Dillon Brooks. He scored 12 points in just over 19 minutes, rating second on the team behind Anthony Edwards. Although chemistry is still developing among teammates, Curry is confident in Team USA’s spacing and the quality of their shot opportunities.
As Curry competes in his first Olympics, he believes simplicity will be crucial to securing a gold medal. Despite early struggles, he remains focused on making each offensive possession smoother and more efficient, aiming to capitalize on the team’s consistent shot opportunities. His impressive start against Canada is a preview of what’s to come as Team USA aims for glory.
