The Curry Flurry

It is a phenomenon I haven't ever seen in NBA basketball. I wish there was a way to see stats related to it.

The premise: After every Curry made 3 pointer the Dubs always seem to go on a mini run/big run. I've never seen someone make such a big momentum impact consistently with a jumper.

What I think the stats would say is that the Warriors play better in the following 3 minutes of him making a three pointer than they generally do (correlation).

So for the playoffs, he is making 4.9 threes a game. For those 14.7 minutes of game time their team stats after (and not including that shot) the made three are statistically different than the other 33.3 minutes in the game.

Couldn't these 4.9 threes a game sometimes overlap to be closer together than 3 minutes apart though.
