Even at 36, Steph Curry remains one of the most dangerous players in the NBA. On Sunday, he put on another masterclass, leading the Golden State Warriors to a commanding 126-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks-and he didn’t even need to play the fourth quarter.
Facing former teammate Klay Thompson, Curry wasted no time making his presence felt. He torched the Mavericks for 30 points on 12-of-20 shooting, completely dismantling their defense.
Stephen Curry’s dazzling All-Star moments continue to captivate fans
Curry puts Dallas to sleep early
The Warriors, who have now won five of their last six games, looked unstoppable with Curry and newly acquired star Jimmy Butler leading the way.
Curry’s signature “night-night” celebration usually comes in clutch moments, but this time, he used it in the third quarter-right in the face of P.J. Washington, who had done the same to the Warriors earlier this month. The message was clear: the game was over.
Warriors climbing the standings
Golden State’s win puts them just half a game behind Dallas for the seventh seed in the Western Conference and only 1.5 games behind the Clippers for sixth place. With their momentum building and Curry in top form, the Warriors are making a serious push to avoid the play-in tournament and solidify their playoff position.
