With a half-dozen games to his name this season, Thompson now is averaging 21.3 minutes per game. His previous career low was 24.4 minutes as a rookie. Yes, he still is in the starting lineup but he’s playing short stints and sitting on the bench for long periods of time. That isn’t easy, especially for a shooter trying to find his stroke and get a rhythm after so much time off. “Everything he’s gone through, two and half years off, the minutes restriction, not really being able to find a flow — it’s tough,” Curry said. “But you have to keep the big-picture mindset of everything he’s going through. “Obviously we’re rockin’ with him, and every shot he takes we think it’s going in. Nothing changes on that.”
Stephen Curry’s buzzer-beating, step-back jumper from just beyond the free-throw line delivered more than a mere victory. This 105-103 win over the Rockets represented a cleansing of soiled souls. “We needed it, obviously,” Curry said after the first walk-off shot of his 13-year NBA career.. “A great, great win,” coach Steve Kerr said. “One of the best wins of the season under the circumstances of where we are right now.”

Connor Letourneau: Steph Curry: “We’ve shown what we can do at the beginning of the season, and we have to hold onto that. … We made it look easy, but it’s really hard to win games in this league. It’s really hard to do what we’re trying to do.”
Anthony Slater: Doesn’t sound like the Warriors have any plan to rest Steph Curry, who played 44 minutes, on the second night of a back-to-back tomorrow. Kerr said he thought Curry looked “strong” tonight.
