The Golden State Warriors ended a three-game losing streak on the road with a 124-120 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night behind a big offensive night from Stephen Curry.
The star point guard put the Warriors on his back in the second half, finishing the night with 37 points and lighting it up from behind the arc with six threes.
One of those threes gave Curry his 3,500th career three — a mark no other player in NBA history has reached.
The Warriors were looking for a big performance to break them out of a rut and build momentum, and veteran Curry gave them exactly what they needed.
Curry’s big game drew widespread praise on social media as Warriors fans rejoiced in the victory.
The game was an offensive battle between Curry and Nets shooting guard Cam Thomas, who matched Curry’s scoring outburst with 41 points of his own.
The Warriors held on late to beat the Nets, and now they look to turn their losing streak into a winning streak. Golden State still has a lot of work to do, but performances like Curry’s on Saturday will do wonders to help the Warriors get back on track.
