BAE Index, 5/10/16: Dwyane Wade and Stephen Curry have a night
By Wes Goldberg
Welcome to the Wade inde–er, I mean the BAE index. Today, Dwyane Wade is amazing and Stephen Curry is back aka is also amazing.
Dwyane Wade
Down by two with just seconds left, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade put the team on his back once again to tie the ball game. He drove to the rim, scoring on a layup through three defenders. Wade finished with 30 points and is averaging better than 27 points per game this series. Don’t let Wade know you thought he was washed up.
Dwyane Wade?
The game went to overtime. That’s three overtimes in four games. If you were ever looking for a Vine that demonstrates just how close this series is…
DWYANE WADE
But to clinch the win and save Miami’s season, Wade stole the rock from Cory Joseph after the inbound and slammed home the dagger. Just another clutch play from the guy who has recently added “Father Prime” to his list of nicknames longer than that of Daenerys Targaryen.
And some other stuff…
In the face
Poor Goran Dragic can’t catch a break. First he has his tooth knocked out, then he gets eight stitches in his bottom lip and in Game 4 against the Raptors he got a kicked ball to the face. Some dudes just get hurt, but give credit to Dragic. The dude always keeps playing. I don’t know that there is someone tougher in the NBA pound for pound.
St3ph back
Meanwhile in the second game of the night… we had a thriller. Even though it took Stephen Curry until less than five minutes left in the game to hit his first three-pointer since returning from his MCL sprain.
Draystrong Green
Draymond Green didn’t stop thriving just because Curry was back.
Dagger
How long did it take Curry to get acclimated with the Warriors? Well…
The Warriors won the game in overtime. Boy was it a thriller, though. They take a 3-1 lead in the series.
