Steph Curry didn't get off to the kind of blazing start Warriors fans had hoped for during Saturday night's Game 6 matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Curry was held scoreless in the first quarter for the first time of the 2016 playoffs - going 0-for-3 in 12 minutes of action. It also marked the fifth quarter of the postseason in which the unanimous MVP failed to score, with four coming in the Western Conference finals.

He recorded his first points at the 7:20 mark of the second quarter.

While Curry struggled in Game 4, he bounced back the following contest, recording 31 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in a 120-111 Warriors win.

The 28-year-old was averaging 21.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in the West finals entering Saturday's outing.
