The Stephen Curry – Kyle Lowry tale
For Stephen Curry, the Finals were a chance to further establish himself as one of the best shooters in NBA history and to lead the Warriors to their third consecutive Championship title. Curry enthralled spectators with thrilling plays, lethal three-point shooting, and gameplay throughout the series. The Warriors got as close as the finals, where they lost to the Toronto Raptors.
His performance was still consistent. Curry put up a playoff career-high 47 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists in a 123-109 loss to the Toronto Raptors in Game 3 of the 2019 Finals. With 31 points in a 106-105 victory in Game 5, he helped the Warriors avoid elimination and trimmed the Raptors’ series lead to 3-2. Curry finished with 21 points in Game 6, but he only shot 6 for 17 and made 3 of 11 three-pointers, missing a disputed three-pointer in the final seconds of the game and series. The Warriors fell short 114–110.

Now that Steph and Lowry’s rivalry is a thing of the past, the duo embark on a new journey with Nirvana. Now that the former Raptors player is signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, the duo’s paths crossed again earlier this year in the regular season. Until they meet again next season, fans can relish the start of their current new chapter.
