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

Jimmy Butler didn't suit up after taking a hard fall in Game 2, which the Warriors lost, and Draymond Green wasn't very good on offense, offering only seven points on three-of-11 shooting from the floor.

Stephen Curry is all for physical playoff basketball and having to earn every shot, even if he is the one taking the brunt of it, with the Houston Rockets swarming the Golden State star and doing all they can trying to slow him down.
