On whether he consciously feeds Thompson in these moments, Curry said, "Yeah, try to. Obviously the defense knows he's hot. I did that at the beginning of the first half." Curry conceded that, later in the game he "threw a crazy pass trying to force it to him, and Paul George didn't even move off of him an inch. Just because he had made eight [3-pointers] in the first half, I had already predetermined what I was going to do. But definitely want to feed the hot hand in those situations and try to get him as clean a look as I can."
In general, Golden State coaches would probably prefer the team not force it to just one guy, but they can't be too frustrated. That Curry and his teammates suddenly join forces to feed their teammate's moment is indicative of unselfishness, after all.
