Steph Curry was on fire in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, and there really is nothing you can do when that happens.
Curry made an NBA Finals record nine 3-pointers in Game 2, going 9-for-17 on threes as part of a 33-point game. 16 of his points came in the fourth quarter, including this ridiculous shot.

The Golden State Warriors star added seven rebounds and eight assists for good measure. Twitter had all sorts of plaudits for Curry.
Greatest shooter of all time.

This is magnificent from Steph Curry. The Cavs attack him relentlessly on defense. They get physical with him. They smack talk him at every turn. And all he does is stay the course, never get rattled, score a ton of points , and make winning plays.

Steph is recalibrating everything I expect from a three-point shooter. He is otherworldly. https://t.co/zluIomd2cS

Steph Curry has knocked down seven or more 3-pointers in a playoff games 12 times in his career.
No other player in league history has more than seven such games.

With Curry on fire, the Warriors had an easy time in the second half of Game 2. They were able to sub out their stars with four minutes left and still coast to victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, taking a 2-0 series lead.
