The matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks was a special event, marked by Klay Thompson‘s return to the Chase Center. However, it was Stephen Curry who stole the show with a dominant performance.
Stephen Curry led the Warriors to victory with 37 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, and a steal. His ability to score from anywhere on the court and his leadership in crucial moments were fundamental to the win.
Draymond Green, Curry’s teammate and close friend, couldn’t hide his admiration for Curry’s performance: “I knew he’d come in ready to go,” Green told reporters. “[It was] very evident by that first foul. He just wanted to take the ball from Klay so bad, but when you see him express that type of emotion, everybody else just falls in line.”
Green praises Curry’s leadership
Green emphasized Curry’s ability to elevate the play of his teammates and lead the team to victory. “I try to lead in that category, but when he’s up, I move to the side, let him do his thing, and [I’ll] be in support. He was absolutely incredible tonight, and I knew he’d be locked in from the gate.”
