Despite being overshadowed by Curry’s dominant effort, Magic star Paolo Banchero had one of the best games of his young career last night.
Golden State has won 10 of their last 12 games with Butler and besides the former Miami Heat star thriving, Curry has been stellar as in the 121-119 win over the Brooklyn Nets, he scored 40 points. Green would say via The Athletic that Curry “was right” that the team before couldn't come back, but with Butler, they are a different team.
In the club's recent contest against the Pistons -- which the Warriors are trying to secure victory in late in the game -- Green passed Guy Rodgers to hold the second-most assists in franchise history, as the team announced.
For over a decade, the Golden State Warriors' full focus has been to build around superstar point guard Steph Curry. The two-time NBA MVP and 11-time All-Star has led the Warriors to four championships since 2015, putting himself alongside Magic Johnson as the two best point guards in league history.
In free agency, the Warriors could acquire an Indiana Pacers superstar center and allow Green to play his natural position. “Golden State has formed a revolutionary dynasty over the last decade-plus largely without having traditional rim-protecting 7-footers,” Empire Sports Media’s Matthew Legros wrote Tuesday.
The red-hot Golden State Warriors continue their Eastern Conference road swing on Saturday night when they travel to take on the reeling Philadelphia 76ers.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green sparked a debate on Wednesday on "The Draymond Green Show." He called the Warriors' run from 2015 to 2019 "the best era of NBA basketball" when they had Kevin Durant, a statement that has received a response from Stephen A. Smith.
The Golden State Warriors may acquire an experienced center in the offseason who started his career with the Philadelphia 76ers.
This was Curry’s 14th 50+ point game, tying him with Hall of Famer Rick Barry for second all-time in franchise history (Wilt Chamberlain had a ridiculous 105 of them). Curry’s highlight reel shot of the night was the three-quarter-court shot to beat the halftime buzzer.
