SAN FRANCISCO, California – Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors to victory with a stellar performance against the New York Knicks on Thursday. Curry scored 31 points, including eight 3-pointers, and grabbed a season-high 11 rebounds, helping the Warriors secure their 12th win in the last 15 games.
Joining Curry in the impressive display was Jonathan Kuminga, who contributed 25 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks. Klay Thompson added 16 points, Draymond Green recorded seven points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, and Chris Paul chipped in with 11 points, six assists, and three steals for the Warriors.
Despite missing Andrew Wiggins, who was absent due to personal reasons, the Warriors never trailed in the game against the Knicks. Golden State’s strong defensive performance compensated for their uneven offensive night, with the Knicks shooting just 36.8 percent from the floor and committing 12 turnovers.
The game also marked a noteworthy achievement for the Warriors, as they opened with a dominant 14-0 run, setting the tone early in the contest. This strong start, coupled with Curry’s outstanding performance, helped Golden State maintain control throughout the game.
Curry’s bounce-back performance was particularly impressive, dispelling any concerns about his form after a couple of subpar outings. The two-time MVP’s resurgence was evident as he showcased his shooting prowess and versatility on the court, delivering a vintage performance at Madison Square Garden.
Despite a spirited effort from the Knicks, who closed the gap in the fourth quarter, the Warriors held on to secure the win. The game also highlighted the importance of rebounding, with the Knicks edging out the Warriors 67-62 in that department, showcasing the significance of defensive tenacity in securing victories.
Overall, the Warriors’ victory over the Knicks exemplified their resilience and ability to overcome challenges, even in the absence of key players. With a strong defensive showing and standout performances from Curry and his teammates, Golden State continues to solidify their position as a force to be reckoned with in the NBA.
