Warriors Had the Depth to Handle Curry's Absence

With Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in the fold, the Warriors were deep and talented enough to survive without Curry for one game. 

Curry has become one of the NBA's pre-eminent superstars over the past few seasons, having averaged 30.1 points, 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 three-pointers and 2.1 steals per game during the 2015-16 season. He was the first-ever unanimous MVP selection, shattered his own record for the most triples made in a season (402) and led the Warriors to a 73-9 record, the best regular-season mark in league history.

This season, he's averaging 25.0 points, 6.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 4.0 treys per contest through 47 games.

Since Curry can hit shots from just about anywhere within the half-court line, he's nearly unguardable, while his ability to facilitate offense for his teammates with his superb vision and deft passing makes the Warriors offense difficult to slow down.

Shaun Livingston saw more time while Curry was sidelined, while Patrick McCaw and Ian Clark saw additional minutes, as well.
