MEMPHIS — Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton was asked on the “Dan Patrick Show” if he would choose Stephen Curry or Kobe Bryant to take the final shot with the game on the line, and the former Lakers forward gave the slight nod to Bryant.

“I think you have to go with Kobe. He’s proven himself over a long career that he’s one of the best finishers in the history of the NBA,” Walton said. “He wanted it, and he would tell you. I mean, everybody in the building knew Kobe was getting the ball at the end of the game, and it still didn’t really matter.

“That being said, Steph is very similar. He’s hit a couple of game-winners for us at the buzzer. He loves that moment. When we’re at practice, you see it every day. Whenever we’re scrimmaging and having a close game, the majority of the time, he will hit a game-winning shot. He embraces and enjoys that moment.

“When I choose Kobe, it’s not because I don’t feel confident with Steph taking it.”

Learning by watching: Many of the Warriors were group chatting Thursday night, when Houston went on a 48-19 run to stave off elimination against the Clippers in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinal series.

Steve Kerr said it was still a “hot topic” at Friday’s shootaround, but the Warriors’ head coach wouldn’t divulge how he referenced the game in his speech to the players. Warriors reserve forward David Lee said it alerted him not to take anything for granted.

“Like everyone else, I almost turned off the (Rockets-Clippers) game,” Lee said. “I put it on mute in the middle of the third quarter. I thought it was pretty much over. To see the turnaround, it was pretty incredible. It just reminds you that anything is possible in this game. It’s a funny game that we play here.”

Plenty of threes: Curry became the fastest player to reach 100 postseason three-pointers in Wednesday’s Game 5. He accomplished the feat in 28 games — seven fewer than it took Ray Allen to hit the century mark.

Curry, who had eight threes in Game 6, is averaging a 2015 playoff-best 4.6 three-pointers per game.

According to Stats, Inc., Curry’s three-pointers per game rank first in postseason history. Rex Chapman made 4.4 per game for Phoenix in the 1997 playoffs.

Fan favorite: According to a fan poll taken by ESPN, Curry is the most popular player in the NBA, edging Cleveland’s LeBron James by 1 percent.

“I’m pretty sure LeBron wouldn’t trade those rings he has for that 1 percent,” Curry said. “Hopefully, we’ll get a ring (this season), and we’ll be able to have that conversation.”
