Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry made headlines in the NBA playoffs as his team faced off against the Sacramento Kings. In Game 4 on Sunday afternoon, Curry nearly made a costly mistake reminiscent of Chris Webber’s infamous timeout gaffe, but the Warriors managed to hold off the Kings and tie the series 2-2 (Fox News, ABC News, Reuters). Despite the near mishap, Curry continues to add to his legacy as one of the league’s top players. He scored 32 points in the game and stayed hot from three-point range, according to RotoBaller. In fact, he has now accomplished a historic feat, joining Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the third player aged 35 or older to do so (The SportsRush).
Curry’s performance in the series has been notable for another reason: his matchup against Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox. CBS Sports called their duel an instant classic, and both players have been praised for their skills on the court. While Curry’s tenure with the Warriors is well-established, Fox is rapidly gaining recognition for his own abilities. The young guard quickly built his own legend throughout the series (CBS Sports).
However, the Warriors-Kings matchup hasn’t just been about individual performances. The series has been marked by close games and high drama, as both teams fight to advance to the next round of the playoffs. Despite the pressure, Curry has remained a key player for the Warriors, contributing essential points and leadership throughout the games (Bleacher Report, The Guardian). With the series tied, all eyes will be on Curry and his team as they prepare for the next game.
