Kyrie Irving is probably sick of hearing about his poor defense. He’s so sick of it, in fact, that he decided to take out his frustrations on Stephen Curry.
Kyrie plays Curry about as perfectly as possible on this possession: Staying with him even when he doesn’t have the ball, not giving him an inch of space when he does get it, then finishing him off with a surprising stuff. If he can keep up this level of defense for the entire series, it may swing the Finals in the Cavaliers’ favor.
