Stephen Curry shares uplifting message for critics after Warriors beat Rockets

Curry told sports journalist Lauren Jbara, "It’s a lot of resilience, everybody’s stepping up. Everybody’s been talking about our team (for) the last two games in terms of our execution, energy, all that."

He added, "We kind of blocked it all out and just understood that we have 48 minutes to dig deep."

The Warriors were criticised for their poor showing in Game 6, where the entire team seemed to lack organisation and also came across as mentally exhausted when facing the Rockets.
Now that they have won, the Warriors' next opponent in the second round will be the Minnesota Timberwolves, led by superstar guard Anthony Edwards.
Since their series against Houston went to a seventh game, the Warriors will only have a two-day rest period before Game 1 of their Western Conference Semi-Final series against Minnesota begins on Tuesday night.
