Stephen Curry's in a shooting slump, but he can still turn a bad game into a great one at warp speed

The Warriors star came up huge in the fourth quarter against the Jazz Saturday
If you've watched Stephen Curry with any sort of frequency over the years, you know there have been plenty of instances in which he's gone from having a bad game to not just a good game, but a great game, in the blink of an eye. He did it again on Saturday in Utah, lifting the Golden State Warriors -- without Draymond Green -- to an impressive 123-116 victory over an elite Jazz team that was at home and operating at pretty close to full strength.
Collectively, the Warriors played inspired basketball from start to finish. Their defense was fantastic. Otto Porter Jr., who continues to look like one the league's best under-the-radar offseason signings, and Andrew Wiggins combined for 45 points. Gary Payton II was typically terrific. Andre Iguodala balled off the bench. Rookie Jonathan Kuminga's big potential becomes clearer every game.
But for Curry personally -- though his presence alone had its typical impact -- the shots weren't falling for the majority of the night, which has been the case for some time now.
