Stephen Curry Delivers Another Signature Moment as Warriors Secure Preseason Win. Stephen Curry once again showcased his brilliance on Wednesday, hitting a clutch 3-pointer with 5.5 seconds remaining to seal a thrilling 116-115 victory over the Kings. The crowd at Chase Center in San Francisco erupted as Curry, who finished with a game-high 30 points, led the Warriors’ comeback from an 18-point deficit. His fourth-quarter performance, where he scored 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting, including a perfect 4-of-4 from beyond the arc, highlighted his extraordinary talent. With six players reaching double figures, the Warriors extended their undefeated preseason record to 4-0.
“Davion Mitchell, the Kings guard, acknowledged Stephen Curry’s greatness after the game, stating, ‘Steph is Steph. He’s the greatest of all time for a reason. He showed that tonight by making big shot after big shot. He’s special, but I think we need to do a better job of being physical from the start and not allowing him to get going because once he gets in a rhythm, it’s difficult to stop him.’
De’Aaron Fox contributed 25 points and seven assists for the Kings (0-4), who will wrap up their preseason schedule with a back-to-back game against the Utah Jazz on Thursday at the Golden 1 Center. Fox, the reigning Clutch Player of the Year in the NBA, scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, including a driving layup that gave Sacramento a 114-110 lead with 41.1 seconds remaining.”
