Regardless of whether the Lakers are aiming for it, Steph will receive more balloons and pick-and-rolls, sometimes far behind the 3-point line. Result: 12 helps for Curry (for just 12 shots endeavored), who rebuffed LA with his game vision and passing abilities. Not bad for a player who isn't thought of as a "traditional point guard." "You know, being labeled this way or that way, it's not something I pay attention to. [...] I try to have an impact on the game regardless of how many shots I take—38 or 12.
