Enormous. Stephen Curry was huge last night, allowing the Warriors to win once morest the Pelicans in a duel 100% battle of the Playoffs in the West. 39 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists for the Chef, who cooked volatile in the second half to allow the Dubs to take a crucial ranking success.
A late night to make us check the phone to see if we had not returned to 2016. Stephen Curry in any case chose to put on his unanimous MVP outfit to extinguish the Pelicans at the end of a second managed act masterfully by the men of the Steve Kerr. A collective masterclass, with Babyface as the leader of the Californian troops.
However, the game got off to a bad start. On the street, the Warriors even have to suffer a double technical fault requalified in flagrante for Draymond Green, following a somewhat coarse fault on Brandon Ingram. Dray will therefore be suspended for the next game. We will have to wait for the return of the locker room to see the locals finally transcend themselves. Led by 20 points, the Dubs start to play and it is Stephen Curry who sends three bombs from the parking lot to bring his team to six points, before Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga combined to stick 21 points in a row. The Warriors are in the lead, and the Pelicans are drowned out by the intense rhythm so characteristic of Golden State.
The three.
The steal.
The SLAM.All of it. ????

Willie Green also recognized it, in a post-match press conference. Once the Warriors are in their zone, it’s just impossible. Two consecutive loss of balls by the Pelicans were the trigger for the fury of the locals. Behind ? Too fast, too precise. Stephen Curry set the fire, and ends at 39 points including 8/15 from the parking lot, with 8 assists and 8 bonus rebounds. When the Chef rolls, everything rolls: Klay Thompson joins the party, and the Chase Center audience does their thing. The arena is on fire, the Pelicans are frozen.
The victory is fantastic, with Steph recalling following the game that their spirit of competitiveness and determination has been unmatched in the NBA for ten years. This success allows the Warriors to temporarily take sixth place in the West, synonymous with direct qualification for the Playoffs. When they play like this, these guys are just… impregnable.
