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.

One night after LeBron James dialed up 38 points and scored 20 in a single half for the 100th time in his playoff career, Stephen Curry followed up with his own "How is he still doing this?" performance in Game 3 against the Rockets on Saturday.

Three games into the NBA postseason, and the Warriors already have some schtick going. That was evident after Game 3, a game that saw star forward Jimmy Butler sit out with a pelvic contusion. More responsibility was heaped onto Curry, and he certainly responded.
