'Incredible' Curry Lifts Warriors to Victory
Stephen Curry's outstanding performance leads the Golden State Warriors to a win against the Brooklyn Nets.
Curry's Pre-Game Routine Change
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry decided to switch up his pre-game routine by going out on the court two hours ahead of tipoff, instead of his usual warmup time slot. He went through the same routine as always, but the change in timing seemed to make a difference. Curry said it was a call to get some space before the game and to have more time to get ready.
This adjustment paid off as Curry played a crucial role in the Warriors' 124-120 win over the Brooklyn Nets. He scored 37 points on 14-of-22 shooting, including 6-of-8 from 3-point range. In addition, he surpassed the milestone of making 3,500 3-pointers in his career.
Curry's Game-Changing Performance
Curry's most impactful stretch came in the fourth quarter when he single-handedly turned the tide of the game. With about 6 minutes left, the Warriors were on the verge of losing another double-digit lead. However, Curry exploded for 10 points in just 1 minute and 40 seconds, rejuvenating the team and showing once again why he is essential to the Warriors' success.
Coach Steve Kerr praised Curry's performance, acknowledging that he has been carrying the team throughout the season. Kerr also mentioned that Curry's emotional state had been affected by the recent news about Draymond Green, but he managed to "flip the switch" and deliver an incredible performance.
Overcoming Adversity
The Warriors had built an 18-point lead in the first half, but their recent struggles in the second quarter and closing minutes were a cause for concern. It seemed like history was repeating itself as the Nets started to close the gap in the third and fourth quarters. However, Curry took matters into his own hands and made crucial shots to halt the Nets' momentum.
Curry's ability to create shots and his confidence-infusing presence gave the Warriors the boost they needed to secure the victory. Klay Thompson also contributed with 24 points, showing signs of regaining his form after being benched in the previous game. With Draymond Green suspended, the Warriors will rely on Thompson and the rest of the team to provide consistent support for Curry.
