Fishing FROM PAGE 1 Warriors dismissed the coach May 6 after a 51-win season and back-to-back playoff appearances. Golden State agreed to a five-year, $25 million deal with Kerr on May 14 and introduced him at a news conference in Oakland on May 20. Even with owner Joe Lacob and general manager Bob Myers going against Curry's request, the All- Star point guard insists he still believes in the fran- chise's commitment to win- ning. "One thing I can say about this organization, they want to win," Curry said. "Each decision is geared toward winning. That's something that flies well with a lot of players — that they're going to try to put us in the best position to win. Obviously, I had a certain opinion of Coach Jackson that they made a decision otherwise, and I heard the reasons, but I won't dwell on it. "As long as we're fo- cused on winning and tak- ing advantage of the roster we have and the opportu- nity we have with this win- dow to try to continue to get better, I'm just looking for- ward to next year and get- ting back to making that happen," Curry said. "I haven't lost faith in that at all. As much as I supported Coach Jackson and loved ev- erything about playing for him, I think they're about winning." Curry said he has spo- ken to Kerr three or four times by phone already. He said the conversations have been more informal than any basketball strategy, and he's looking forward to in- person meetings after Kerr finishes his job as a broad- cast analyst for TNT in the Western Conference finals. Curry said his support of Jackson stems from their bond off the court and his memories of the organiza- tion before the coach ar- rived: a lot of losses — and two ankle surgeries — un- der Don Nelson and Keith Smart. "He was a sign of stabil- ity for me," Curry said. "I had three coaches in three years, and he embodies what I know is good around here with the Warriors — winning and that kind of feel. It was a lot different in my first few years." But Curry said he will ad- just, learn Kerr's style and play just as hard for him as he did for Jackson. And he has no doubt his teammates will, too. "At the end of the day, all of the guys in the locker room are trying to win," Curry said. "I know Steve Kerr has that mentality and that mission as well. Those two things will align, and we'll be fine." Earlier, Curry was awarded the NBA's 2013- 14 Kia Community Assist Seasonlong Award in front of a crowd on Golden State's practice floor that included many of the individuals and groups he impacted. Curry's charity of choice, ThanksUSA, will receive $25,000 from the NBA and Kia Motors. ThanksUSA provides college, techni- cal and vocational school scholarships for children and spouses of active-duty military personnel. Curry has served as a spokesman for the charity since 2010. Curry's other charitable works included distribut- ing 38,000 bed nets in Tan- zania last summer with the "Nothing But Nets" cam- paign. He also helped raise money for the fight against malaria in Africa by donat- ing three bed nets for every 3-pointer he made. Curry called the award a "huge honor" and a team effort. He thanked his fam- ily, agents, members of the Warriors, the NBA, and sev- eral organizations for part- nering with him. Curry FROM PAGE 1 By Ira Podell The Associated Press NEWYORK Dominic Moore scored in the second period, Henrik Lundqvist bounced back from his worst perfor- mance in the playoffs and the New York Rangers beat the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 on Thursday night to ad- vance to the Stanley Cup fi- nals. The Rangers are in the championship round for the first time since winning it all in 1994. Lundqvist and the Rang- ers shook off a 7-4 road loss Tuesday night and took out the Canadiens on home ice. Lundqvist needed to make only 18 saves in his team-re- cord tying ninth postseason shutout. He was pulled after allowing four goals in less than two periods Tuesday. Lundqvist had been 0-5 since 2009 in non-Game 7 clinching games. He leaped several times in his crease with his hands raised as streamers were fired off from the rafters. Montreal's Dustin Tokar- ski, who replaced injured No. 1 goalie Carey Price after Game 1, was solid in making 31 saves. The Stanley Cup finals will begin Wednesday at ei- ther Chicago or Los Ange- les, which leads the Western finals 3-2. Montreal made one final push after Tokarski was pulled for an extra skater with 1:53 left. Lundqvist held off the Canadiens as fans chanted "Hen-rik! Hen- rik!" NHL PLAYOFFS Rangers knock out Habs in six games By Raul Dominguez The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO Tim Dun- can had 22 points and 12 rebounds, Manu Ginobili scored 19 points and the San Antonio Spurs rolled to a 117-89 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Confer- ence finals. Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green each had 14 points, Boris Diaw added 13 and Tony Parker scored 12 for the Spurs, who are a win away from returning to the NBA Finals after losing in seven games to Miami last year. Kevin Durant scored 25 points, but Russell West- brook had only 21 points and seven assists after finishing with 40 points and 10 assists in Game 4. Game 6 is Saturday in Oklahoma City. The Jekyll and Hyde se- ries continued between the past two Western Confer- ence champions, as the road team has been thumped in every game of the best-of- seven series. After losing twice in Oklahoma City by an aver- age of 11 points, San Anto- nio upped its winning mar- gin in San Antonio to 26.7 points. "We played so much harder, sharper, smarter, everything we talked about," Ginobili said. "It was a fun-to-play and fun- to-watch game. So when we play like this it's a com- pletely different story."
