After the game, Curry was asked about going up against his former teammate (Jordan Poole).
Curry (via Warriors on NBCS): "It's always great to see teammates, good friends. Rooting for him to try to make something out of this organization with his opportunity here to lead. He's playing a lot better than he did last year, getting comfortable. Just excited for him... The sky's the limit for him... You can see, he plays with joy, he plays with flash, the same old JP we know. I'm just glad we got the win and the bragging rights this time."
