With a strong offensive performance from Stephen Curry on Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Brooklyn Nets 124-120 to end a three-game losing streak.
The all-star point guard scored 37 points on the night and dominated from beyond the arc with six three-pointers, putting the Warriors on his back in the second half.
Curry hit his 3,500th career three-pointer with one of those shots, a feat no other NBA player has accomplished.
The seasoned Curry gave the Warriors precisely what they needed, helping them break out of their current rut and gain some momentum.
Warriors supporters celebrated the victory on social media, praising Curry for a huge performance.
Curry and Cam Thomas, the shooting guard for the Nets, engaged in an offensive duel throughout the game. Thomas scored 41 points to match Curry’s scoring explosion.
The Warriors are now trying to convert their losing run into a winning streak after hanging on late to defeat the Nets. Though the Warriors still have a lot of work ahead of them, a performance like Curry’s on Saturday will go a long way toward helping them get back on track.
