Curry says he may need the best performance of career in Game 7

While the Cleveland Cavaliers may be trying to end their city's 52-year title drought Sunday, there's no other way around it: the pressure is on the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

A record-setting 73-win juggernaut has suddenly looked less than human in the last two games, and the reigning two-time league MVP knows a lot of that's on him.

"I need to play my best game of the year if not my career," Stephen Curry told reporters Saturday, before adding a caveat.

"But that doesn't mean a 50-point game though."

Curry was ejected from the first game of his NBA career in Game 6, and the technical for tossing his mouth guard was his sixth foul anyways. It was a rare sight to see the league's golden boy in foul trouble late in a crucial contest, and he stressed Saturday that he needs to avoid repeating that.

"All I can do is just stay out of foul trouble," Curry said. "That's the only thing I need to worry about"

Degrees of 'worry' depend on the person and circumstances involved, but despite his proclamation that he needs a great game, Curry said he doesn't feel the pressure.

"I don't feel any extra pressure, which is good. I just want to enjoy the moment."

Curry shot a combined 16-of-41 in Games 5 and 6.
