Stephen Curry returns to the Warriors with high expectations, low anxiety

It's official. Stephen Curry will return to the court for the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night for Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the New Orleans Pelicans. That's the straight news. Here's the analysis. As one can imagine, this is a major moment for the defending champs. The team has soldiered on for five hard weeks without their floor leader. There was some ugly basketball at the end of the regular season, followed by a 5-1 stretch in the postseason that has seen the Warriors regain some of that championship charm. But Curry's return is a big deal, no doubt.
