Curry signed a four-year, $44 million contract in 2013, before he was a two-time MVP, and when it looked like chronic ankle injuries might derail his career.

According to comments made by Warriors owner Joe Lacob to the San Jose Mercury News, he’s going to get it.

If you thought the Giants offense would wake up after their best offensive performance of the season against the Twins on Monday night, you were sadly mistaken.

It’s been a rough couple of years for Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. Since leading Golden State to an NBA Final’s victory in 2015, Kerr has struggled with complications from back surgery, missing a good chunk of last season, and the lion’s share of the 2017 postseason.

The Warriors got their revenge after a year of “3-1” jokes on Monday night at Oracle Arena, outlasting the Cavs 129-120 in Game 5 to clinch the franchise’s fifth NBA championship in 70 seasons. This marks the first time a Bay Area team has clinched a championship at home since 1974.

In what has become an ongoing saga, a city-ordered audit says that the 49ers owe more than $2 million to the city of Santa Clara, in both public safety money and stadium costs over the last three years, according to a report in Monday’s San Francisco Chronicle.
