After missing two shots in a row, Curry clearly realized that his touch had not been particularly good during this stretch, so he decisively adjusted his approach and switched up his game.
He drove off Green's screen and passed the ball back, then slipped into the off-ball mode that Warriors fans knew so well, beginning a relentless run worthy of a marathon.
Meanwhile, after receiving the pass, Green turned toward Klay for a fake handoff. Using the attention Klay drew, he spun into a drive, drew Drummond up from the basket, and delivered a bounce pass to TJD.
TJD caught the ball, jumped, and finished with a layup.
With Chen Xi and George's defensive attention drawn away by Curry and Klay, it became much easier for the Warriors to break through the Knicks' interior defense.
The ball slipped smoothly through the net. Drummond picked it up, stepped behind the baseline, and inbounded it again.
A two-point layup was nothing to worry about. New York's comeback continued.
Rose brought the ball across half court and initiated a pick-and-roll at the top of the key.
Using Ethan's screen, he accelerated into the left elbow, then jumped and passed out to Chen Xi at the top of the key.
Chen Xi immediately swung the ball to George on the right wing.
George caught it and faked a shot, then put the ball on the floor and drove into the paint. He gathered on the move, took a Euro Step, and forced his way up for a layup.
It missed, but he drew a foul.
That was where PG's intelligence showed.
Like Curry, once he realized his shooting touch was off, he immediately changed tack and attacked the paint more often, looking to regain his feel through finishes at the rim or trips
