Curry was delighted the team got a road win, especially since they have struggled away all season.

"It's one of the best feelings in basketball, figuring out a way to win in a hostile environment. As the lower seed, winning on the road is a big deal. It's hard to do... Big night for us, and you could feel the sense of accomplishment," he said, per ESPN.
