Story

On March 15, 2025, in San Francisco, Stephen Curry played a pivotal role in the Golden State Warriors' victory over the New York Knicks with a score of 97-94. Curry notched up 28 points, alongside seven rebounds and five assists, just two days after achieving a milestone as the first player in NBA history to hit 4,000 three-pointers. Curry celebrated his 37th birthday the previous day and contributed significantly in this game, leading his team to a seventh consecutive win. Meanwhile, Steve Kerr achieved a notable personal milestone by surpassing the late Hall of Famer Al Attles for the most coaching wins in Warriors history, making it 558 wins in his 11th season. This achievement became even more significant as the milestone win came just after the final buzzer, with the Warriors showing their appreciation on the scoreboard and through messages from fellow coaches. Kerr took a moment to express his gratitude for being recognized by the Attles family, noting the legacy that Al Attles left with the franchise he greatly revered. The game was tightly contested, with Karl-Anthony Towns leading the Knicks with 29 points and 12 rebounds, managing to make pivotal plays until his foul-out late in the match. Jimmy Butler made his presence felt with contributions totaling 11 points, seven assists, and six rebounds, alongside managing a remarkable three-pointer at the end of the first quarter that mirrored Curry's shooting skill moments later before halftime. Butler’s impact since joining the team has been substantial, as reflected in the Warriors’ impressive 14-1 record in games he has played, including this recent victory. The performance against the Knicks highlighted not only the team's current success but also their ability to adapt, evidenced by their use of a diverse lineup, with this being the 36th different starting arrangement for the Warriors throughout the season. Despite an off night shooting from beyond the arc, the team persevered to secure their seventh consecutive win both overall and at home. The Warriors now look forward to their next match against the Denver Nuggets as they continue to make an impactful run during their season-long seven-game homestand.
