In just a break, in straight games, the scoring ability of point guard Stephen Curry once again shone in a special way at the Chase Center by scoring 30 points that helped the Golden State Warriorrs offer another exhibition against the Sacramento Kings.
Nothing could stop Curry, nor that his secrets were known to Kings coach Luke Watson, who had previously managed him.
After setting his best professional mark the night before scoring 62 points in a 137-122 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, Curry was also bright enough to give the Warriors another 137-106 beating win. against the Kings.
Curry had scored 23 points going into halftime with 7 baskets of 11 shots from the field, including 4 of 7 on triples, nine less than his total at the break last night, but something spectacular when it comes to playing his second game. in less than 24 hours.
The Warriors’ star point guard finished with five triples, was perfect (7-7) from the personnel line, and was on the verge of a triple-double with nine rebounds – all defensive – and distributed eight assists.
In this way, Curry, 32, celebrated the recognition of having been chosen Player of the Week of the Western Conference and also put the Warriors with a winning record of 4-3 for the first time since 2019.
Curry has 15 Player of the Week honors in his 12 NBA seasons.
The 92 points in the past two nights was his third-highest point total in two games. Curry scored a combined 97 on February 25 and 27, 2016, and 93 on February 24 and 25 of the same year.
After another stellar outing, Curry’s sister Sydel chimed in, apparently to critics of No. 30, who removed a bandage from her right quadriceps before the second half began and used a bandage across her lower back. during breaks.
“Now please shut up! Respectfully, proud little sister,” he posted on Twitter.
For his part, Warriors coach Steve Kerr recalled that Curry’s “magic” is not only displayed on the field during games but also in the gym, where he offers a spectacle simply by watching him.
“I feel very proud and grateful to be able to be a part of all the magic that Steph (Curry) transmits when he has a ball in his hands,” Kerr stressed.
But the Warriors coach was also happy to see forward Kelly Oubre Jr., the player who came to fill in for the injured Klay Thompson, begin to find his best shooting touch and took some of the pressure off Curry at the perimeter by scoring four 3-pointers on the way to 18 points, another great news for the Golden State team.
Canadian forward Andrew Wiggins had another 16 points with five assists, the same as veteran power forward Draymond Green, who grabbed five rebounds and recovered two balls, being important again in the defensive game.
The young 19-year-old center, rookie James Wiseman, is serious about his progression within the NBA and had 10 points, four rebounds and two blocks in just 17 minutes of action.
The Warriors opened the game with a 19-7 partial lead to the Kings calling for a timeout and there was no way to stop their march to victory.
Forward Harrison Barnes with 18 points and nine rebounds against his former team, was the leader of the Kings, who also had the support of point guard De’Aaron Fox, who contributed another 18 points and seven assists.
But they did not prevent the Kings (3-4) from suffering their third consecutive loss after losing the other two previous games in the series they held against the Houston Rockets, at the Toyota Center.
