Stephen Curry's 32 points propel Warriors to 128-110 victory over Lakers

Posted : 23 February 2024

Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors to a 128-110 victory over the Lakers, scoring 32 points, making six 3-pointers, and reaching 6,000 career assists. Curry's aggressive play from the start set the tone for the Warriors, with coach Steve Kerr acknowledging the team's reliance on his early contributions.

 

The victory marked a strong return for the Warriors and helped ease the memory of their double-overtime loss to the Lakers in the previous month. Despite Klay Thompson's slow start, the Warriors secured their ninth win in 11 games since their previous encounter with the Lakers.

 

Rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis praised Curry's ability to engage the crowd and bring energy, emphasizing the challenge of stopping him when he's in the zone. Curry's 6,000th career assist placed him among NBA greats, including LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant, James Harden, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and John Havlicek.

 

The two-time MVP's stellar performance included nine made shots and five 3-pointers in the first half alone. Curry's recent string of impressive games featured his fifth instance of hitting six or more 3-pointers in six games.

Anthony Davis contributed 27 points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers, while D'Angelo Russell added 18 points and nine assists. The absence of LeBron James, due to a left ankle injury, impacted the Lakers, ending their three-game winning streak.

 

The game marked a drastic difference from the previous meeting, where the Lakers rallied to beat the Warriors in double overtime. Andrew Wiggins scored 20 points for the Warriors, and Jonathan Kuminga extended his double-figure streak to 34 games. The Lakers' coach, Darvin Ham, described James' injury as a "day-to-day thing," leaving his return uncertain.

 

Despite Klay Thompson's struggles with shooting, coach Steve Kerr anticipates the return of veteran guard Chris Paul during the upcoming road trip. Thompson missed his first six shots but connected on a 3-pointer in the third quarter. The Warriors' recent success, with nine wins in 11 games, reflects their resilience since the double-overtime loss to the Lakers.
