Just shortly after the Cavaliers and the Pacers ended the first round, the League announced the regular season MVP winner.
After the Warriors had secured 73 wins, the anticipation for this award was all but lost.
Thanks to their 73 wins, and Curry's season average of 30.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 2.1 steals, and a record-breaking 402 three-pointers in a single season, Curry was honored with this award for the first time in his career.
Including Hansen's back-to-back MVPs from the past two seasons, UA was on a winning streak.
However, neither the Warriors' management nor their fans were likely feeling too good at the moment.
Because in Game 4 of the first round against the Mavericks, Curry slipped and injured himself, and it was later announced he had suffered a medial collateral ligament sprain in his knee.
Although the Warriors didn't disclose the exact severity of the strain, even a Grade 1 would require at least two weeks of rest.
