"This is what it's all about," Curry said, via the Mercury News. "This is what we play for. Those battles, those moments people will remember for a long time."
Game 7 is definitely something fans will remember, considering it was the highest-watched NBA playoff game in cable history. Durant may not appreciate it now, considering he was on the losing end, but when he looks back he'll remember his matchup fondly and how tough of a battle it was against Curry.
