Don\u2019t Bet Against Him: Steph Curry Dominates Game 7<\/h2>\n

Curry has played in five Game 7s<\/a>\u00a0throughout his career. He’s 3-2, but has had only one bad game. He ranks 13th in NBA history in terms of scoring average<\/a> in Game 7. It’s noteworthy that eight of the players placed above him have played in only one Game 7. Looking at active players with two or more Game 7s, only Luka Doncic<\/a>, Kevin Durant<\/a>, and LeBron James<\/a> have performed better than Curry.<\/p>\n

Across five games, the 11-time All-Star has averaged 32.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.8 steals, and 5.6 threes on 46.7% shooting from the floor and 42.4% from behind the arc. He’s scored 30+ points in three Game 7s. James has scored 30+ points five times, and Durant has done it four times.<\/p>\n

Curry, however, has the second-highest scoring total in a Game 7<\/a>. Only Jayson Tatum<\/a> has more, going for 51 to beat the Philadelphia 76ers in 2023. Curry had 50 to beat the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the 2023 playoffs.<\/p>\n
