Steph Curry once again cemented his place among the NBA’s elite players, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 125-117 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. Curry finished the game with 37 points, not only securing the win but also making NBA history. At 36 years old, he became the oldest point guard in NBA history to record consecutive 30-point games. Additionally, Curry joined basketball legends LeBron James and Michael Jordan as the only players aged 36 to achieve back-to-back 35-point performances, proving he remains one of the league’s most dominant players.
Klay Thompson’s Return Highlights Night
The game also marked the highly anticipated return of Klay Thompson, who spent 13 years with the Warriors, winning four NBA championships before joining the Mavericks in the offseason. Thompson received a heartfelt warm reception from the crowd at Chase Center and delivered a strong performance, contributing 22 points, including six three-pointers. While Thompson’s return was a key moment in the game, it was Curry’s performance that stole the show and ultimately led the Warriors to victory.
Warriors’ Strong Start to the Season
With this win, the Warriors improve to 9-2, tying for the best record in the Western Conference and continuing their strong start to the season. The Mavericks, on the other hand, fell to 5-6, a disappointing start after their NBA Finals appearance last season. What began as a night for Thompson quickly turned into Curry’s showcase, as the Warriors seized control and secured another impressive win.
Curry’s Legacy and the Warriors’ Championship Aspirations
This victory further cements Curry’s legacy as one of the greatest players in NBA history and solidifies the Warriors’ position as a top team in the league. With their sights firmly set on another championship run, the Warriors remain a formidable force in the Western Conference, continuing to impress early in the season.
