Get ready to be amazed because Stephen Curry just delivered a performance that’s turning heads across the NBA! With 27 points and a season-best 10 assists, Curry led the Golden State Warriors to a dominating 137-103 victory over the struggling Sacramento Kings on Friday night. But here’s where it gets even more impressive: this marked Curry’s second double-double of the season, and his 10 assists were part of the Warriors’ staggering season-high 39 assists as a team. Talk about teamwork!
Curry wasn’t just about assists—he was on fire from the start, scoring 18 points by halftime and finishing with six 3-pointers on 10-of-21 shooting. This marks his 11th game in the last 13 where he’s scored 25 or more points. Jimmy Butler chipped in with 15 points, six assists, and six rebounds, but it was the Warriors’ bench that stole the show, scoring a whopping 66 points. De’Anthony Melton (19 points), Brandin Podziemski (14 points), and Gary Payton II (12 points, eight rebounds) were standout contributors.
Now, let’s talk about the Kings. DeMar DeRozan led the way with 24 points, but Sacramento’s struggles continued as they dropped their seventh straight game and eighth in nine. Zach LaVine added 15 points but went just 1-for-7 from beyond the arc, part of the Kings’ lackluster 7-for-27 performance from three-point range. And this is the part most people miss: despite Dennis Schroder’s late-third-quarter layup tying the game at 84, the Warriors responded with a game-changing 13-0 run to close the period, sealing their fate.
Golden State’s momentum is undeniable—they’ve won eight of their last 11 games and three straight at home, all part of a crucial eight-game stretch at Chase Center. Even more impressive? They’ve scored 120 or more points in their last seven victories. But here’s where it gets controversial: Russell Westbrook, who had 13 points and seven assists, was called for a Flagrant 1 foul after a replay review showed him locking elbows with Podziemski and taking him down. Was it a fair call, or did the refs get it wrong? Let us know in the comments!
For the Kings, rookie Maxime Raynaud, a former Stanford star, had a solid outing with eight points and seven rebounds in front of a supportive hometown crowd. Meanwhile, the Warriors’ dominance was evident from the start, leading 63-59 at halftime while shooting 54.2% from the field compared to Sacramento’s 52%.
Looking ahead, the Kings will host the Houston Rockets on Sunday, while the Warriors welcome the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night. But the real question is: Can the Warriors keep this momentum going, or will the Kings find a way to turn their season around?
