Stephen Curry gives smiling Riley Curry big kiss after Game 4 win
After finally breaking loose for 17 points in the fourth quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the 2015 NBA Finals, league MVP Stephen Curry hoped to be able to carry over some of his shotmaking success into Game 4. He might not have had quite the breakout performance he’d hoped for — 22 points on 8-for-17 shooting, 4 for 7 from 3-point range, six assists, two rebounds, one steal, four turnovers in 41 minutes — but his team sure broke out, hammering the Cavs 103-82 to tie the Finals at two games apiece.

That outing was enough to get Steph a little postgame love from daughter Riley, his pride and joy, who was chilling with grandpa Dell at Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday:
A kiss for good luck before Game 1, a kiss for a good game after Game 4. Seems fitting. (Plus, now that journalist whom Andre Iguodala called “nosy” for asking about Riley’s whereabouts post-Game 1 can rest easy knowing that the Sporting Internet’s favorite 2-year-old is still hangin’ around.)
