Curry's 4th-uarter heroics propel warriors to victory

Stephen Curry showcased his scoring prowess with a stunning 37-point performance, including 16 crucial points in the fourth quarter.

The Golden State Warriors secured a much-needed 124-120 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, overcoming a late surge by their opponents.

Despite leading by as many as 18 points, the Warriors faced a formidable challenge from the Nets, who were driven by Cam Thomas’s impressive 41-point effort. However, Curry’s flawless seven-for-seven shooting in the final period and Klay Thompson’s timely three-pointers in the last four minutes sealed the Warriors’ triumph, putting an end to their three-game losing streak.

The victory served as a morale booster for the Warriors, grappling with challenges both on and off the court.

The team is still adjusting to the indefinite suspension of star player Draymond Green, who recently faced consequences for an on-court incident.

“It’s been a lot of conversations, a lot of noise around us,” acknowledged Curry.

“The friendships and connections, especially with a guy like Draymond, all that stuff does weigh on you.”
