In a total of 74 games, Curry averaged 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 45.0 percent from the floor and 40.8 percent from three-point range. Curry made a total of 357 triples this season, the third-most in a single season all time. He currently holds the record after hitting 402 perimeter shots during the 2015-16 season.
The main reason why Curry was honored as the most clutch player in the league is due to what he did in the fourth quarter of games. This season, Steph played in a total of 43 clutch time games. Clutch games are those that were within five points in the last five minutes. During this span of games, Curry scored a total of 189 points over the course of the season, the most points out of any player in the entire league. He also made 32 threes in clutch time, 19 more threes than any other player in the league late in games.
This is the first time the Warriors’ star has received the Clutch Player of the Year award.
More details are to come shortly.
