Why Jalen Rose thinks Kevin Durant is to blame for Steph Curry's slump originally appeared on nbcsportsbayarea.com Before his 30-point effort in the Warriors' Game 4 loss to the Rockets on Monday night, Steph Curry was mired in a slump the likes of which the two-time NBA MVP has rarely seen. During the first three games of the Western Conference semifinals, Curry was averaging 18.3 points per game while shooting 35.2 percent from the field and a ghastly 25 percent from the 3-point line. While Curry responded in Game 4 by shooting 12-for-25 en route to his 30-point night, he still struggled from distance, making only four of his 14 3-point attempts.
