BAE Index, 5/19/2016: Warriors Come Out and Play
Mercury Rising
Before the NBA playoffs even got started tonight, there was some amazing basketball. And it’s no surprise Diana Taurasi was in on that.
Taurasi gave us the perfect setup for Stephen Curry in the nightcap with this amazing shot. Her ability to make a shot from that far out through contact is a reminder of just how talented she is.

And then, of course, once the nightcap hit, the MVP did not disappoint. Stephen Curry scored 15 points in less than two minutes. No, seriously.
When he’s off, he’s still one of the hardest players in the league to guard. When he’s on, he’s an absolute nightmare.

If you want to know how the Warriors night went, just check this out.
As my esteemed colleague Chris Barnewell pointed out, Iguodala didn’t even look at the basket when he made this. It’s as unreal as the Warriors season so far.
