The Golden State Warriors may not appear as dominant as usual, but Steph Curry still possesses his exceptional skills. The renowned point guard typically concludes pregame warmups by attempting extraordinary shots from the tunnel. However, this particular shot took his abilities to a whole new level. Curry managed to sink a shot from behind the opposite baseline, an impressive distance of well over 100 feet.
This remarkable trickshot served as a preview of what Curry had in store for the Los Angeles Clippers later that night. Despite being 35 years old, Curry delivered an outstanding performance by hitting 9 out of 19 shots from beyond the arc, ultimately scoring a game-high 41 points against L.A. This accomplishment made Curry the first player in NBA history to achieve seven or more three-pointers in four consecutive games. Additionally, it marked the fifth time this season that Curry managed to hit at least nine three-pointers in a single game, with four of those occurrences happening in February. Furthermore, he has scored 30 or more points in three of his last four games.
Despite Curry’s exceptional performance from long range, the Warriors failed to maintain their double-digit lead and ultimately lost to the Clippers with a score of 130-125. This defeat marked the ninth time this season that the Warriors have lost a game after holding a double-digit lead. Additionally, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was unable to secure his 500th regular season win, as he had returned to the sideline after attending the funeral of Dejan Milojevic in Serbia.
Currently, the Golden State Warriors hold a record of 26-26, placing them as the 10th-best team in the Western Conference. Despite their recent success with a 7-3 record in their last 10 games, there were reports that the Warriors had attempted to acquire LeBron James through a trade before the deadline, with the intention of pairing him with Curry.
