Curry ties Jordan with 40 points vs Spurs: Stephen’s show!

The Warriors star, Stephen Curry, had a spectacular night in San Antonio, leading his team to a crucial victory over the Spurs. Curry, who started the game with a pair of Kobe 6 shoes, proved to be in top form, both on and off the court. Curry finished the game with his characteristic free throws, sealing the victory with two perfect shots in the final moments. The player scored 49 points, propelling the Warriors to a 109-108 victory.

I don’t wonder if he’s going to make them or not. I think everyone expects it.

Steve Kerr, Warriors coach, on Curry’s free throws

In a decisive play, Curry drew a foul from De’Aaron Fox with 6.4 seconds remaining. The tension increased as Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs star, tried to intimidate Curry, asking the fans to make more noise. Curry, far from being intimidated, responded with calm and precision, converting both free throws and securing the victory for the Warriors. The point guard taunted Wembanyama, asking the crowd to make more noise, before sinking the second free throw. In the previous game, Curry scored 46 points, with an outstanding performance from the free throw line. With 66 of 70 free throws made this season, Curry is on track to lead the league in percentage for the sixth time in his career.

With this performance, Curry tied Michael Jordan’s record of 44 games of 40 points after turning 30 years old. Curry celebrated this achievement by making the “2” and “3” gesture with his fingers, in honor of Jordan. This was the first time Curry scored more than 40 points in consecutive games since 2022, a crucial moment for the Warriors, who urgently needed away wins. Curry, who recently recovered from an illness, demonstrated a remarkable recovery, showing freshness and efficiency in both games against the Spurs. According to GeniusIQ, Curry scored 28 of his points on Friday night on pull-up shots off the dribble, his most in a game since 2015. After the game, Curry attributed some of his success to a morning talk from his coach, Steve Kerr. Curry acknowledged that, on this occasion, he was the “lead singer”, generating anticipation with his choice of footwear and silencing the fans with his impressive performance.
