Home crowd doesn't step up for Steph Curry as he goes flying into stands
Stephen Curry is beloved at Oracle Arena, where the Golden State Warriors star gets the crowd going with his ridiculous shooting. But on Wednesday night, the reigning two-time MVP needed the fans, and they were nowhere to be found.
As Curry chased after a loose ball late in the first quarter, he tried to leap over the first row of fans but lost his balance, resulting in a scary fall.
Sooooo…nobody going to catch Steph?https://t.co/dilZXt3UfA

What you don't see is any fan putting their body on the line for Curry. C'mon people, he's trying to get you a second straight title.
One fan even pulled out his camera and took pictures rather than checking on Curry.

Luckily, Curry emerged from the spill unscathed and went on to score 28 points and lead the Warriors to a 118-91 win. They're going to need a fully healthy Curry in order to survive this series against the Thunder.
