Call it a return, but Steph Curry is back for the Warriors, It’s difficult to argue with Chauncey Billups’ assessment that Steph Curry is the best combination guard in NBA history.
Even though the Golden State Warriors don’t appear to be playing their best, Steph Curry is still a very good player. During pregame warmups, Curry usually attempts absurd, no-angle shots from the tunnel, but this time, he hit a shot from behind the opposing baseline that was more than 100 feet away.
Curry’s trick shot served as a taste of what he was about to do to the Los Angeles Clippers that evening. The 35-year-old scored a game-high 41 points against Los Angeles by going 9 for 19 from beyond the arc. Curry made NBA history by becoming the first player to make at least seven three-pointers in four straight games. Curry has made at least nine three-pointers in a game for the fifth time this season, four of which have come in February. In three of his last four games, he has scored thirty points or more.
The Warriors lost a double-digit lead to the Clippers, 130-125, despite the heroics from deep. This season, the Warriors have lost nine games in which they had squandered double-digit leads. After attending Dejan Milojevic’s funeral in Serbia, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was denied his 500th regular season victory and had to return to the sidelines.
Due to the Golden State Warriors’ botched attempt to acquire LeBron James through a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne wrote that a dismal deadline nearly witnessed a seismic shift in power in the West.
James would have been joined with rival Steph Curry in the transaction. The Warriors prevailed 3-1 in their four previous NBA Finals meetings between the two teams.
