The Golden State Warriors find themselves in ninth place in the Western Conference. At 28-29, they sit in a position to partake in the NBA's play-in tournament this season, and they'll have to continue to lean on a red-hot Stephen Curry to clinch their spot.
The Warriors have had a roller-coaster ride of a season, but Curry has been incredible, especially of late. After suffering an injury that sidelined him for most of the season last year, he has come back and proven he's still one of the very best players in the league. With a whopping 47 points on Saturday night, Curry has matched Kobe Bryant's record of 10 straight games with 30 or more points at 33 years or older After the game, Curry acknowledged he's playing some of the beset basketball of his career.
“Statistically, it is for sure,” Curry said after the Warriors' 119-114 loss at the Boston Celtics. “This season's required something a little bit different. I'm trying to meet that moment. It's a fun brand of basketball; just trying to put wins together with it. And I have supreme confidence; I've been blessed with a very special skill set that I'm trying to continue to master and hone and get better at. And that's showing, the work is showing, so I'm trying to obviously sustain that for this season, because it's required for us to get to where we want to go.”
Over this 10-game stretch, the Warriors star is putting up a ridiculous 39.1 points per game while shooting 54.6% from the field and 48.6% on 3-pointers. These are legitimate video game numbers.
We'll see if Stephen Curry can keep the streak going and set an NBA record. He'll have his chance on Monday when the Warriors take on the Philadelphia 76ers.
