Steph Curry's Clutch Free Throw Shooting in NBA Playoffs is Freaking Unreal
By Brian Cass
Have you ever heard about this Steph Curry guy? You know, the guy who revolutionized the game of basketball with his ridiculous 3-point shooting? Well as it turns out, his sniper-like shot isn't just exclusive to the trey; he's absolutely deadly at the free throw line as well.
Without Kevin Durant in the lineup, potentially for the remainder of the postseason, Curry has taken back full control of his Warriors squad. And if you need someone to ice the game, we'd recommend you call him.
Steph Curry has made 79 straight free throws in the 4th quarter or OT in the postseason.

He hasn't missed one since the 2015 NBA Finals. Clutch ? #SCFacts pic.twitter.com/nOKjEXd153
79 straight makes from the line in the fourth quarter or overtime in the postseason, huh? Not too shabby, Steph.
Once again, the chef is proving to everyone that he never truly needed KD to win. Maybe he needed him to get past LeBron in The Finals, but the Western Conference still stands no chance against the Warriors if Steph has anything to say about it.
Steph Curry was playing like the old Steph Curry before KD joined the Warriors tonight! He had 39 points, 8 rebounds, & 8 assists.

After squeaking past the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors now sit in the driver's seat over Damian Lillard and company.
If Steph continues to shoot lights out from the line in clutch situations and score at will from long range, this series may be over in four games.
