What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThey're calling it Steph Curry gravity, and I'm telling you, they're right.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHe took thirty-four shots. That's a career high, ESPN says, and he made seventeen of them. Gravity, sure. The ball kept going to him.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, that's what a star does.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSix blocks, three threes, and he's the first Spurs player since David Robinson in nineteen ninety-six with forty points and five blocks.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentCurry's gravity opens up everyone else. Dylan Harper had a career-high twenty-five and De'Aaron Fox had twenty-two, so somebody got open.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd Harper got open because Wemby was dragging two defenders around the arc. That's the whole point!

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIs it? He shot three of eight from three.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorDefenders don't know that.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorHe came to the game dressed as Geralt from The Witcher on Halloween, and honestly the man's got a spell on this league.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentGravity is also why the ball comes down. Seventeen times it didn't go in.
