It’s hard to know what Steph Curry has been doing during halftime this season. Maybe he’s snacking on popcorn. Maybe he’s firing himself up by reading internet comments. Maybe Steph is getting pep talks over FaceTime from Natalie Nakase.
Regardless of what he’s doing — meditation, yoga, writing letters complaining about affordable housing projects, watching highlights from Season 2 of “Holey Moley” — it’s working.
