It was an overall great night for the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. After dropping their previous game against the Boston Celtics, the Warriors bounced back in tremendous fashion. They defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 147-116 with Stephen Curry once again leading the charge.

Not only did Curry provide energy on the floor, but he also provided energy from the bench, acting as the Warriors' top cheerleader in the fourth quarter, tirelessly hyping his teammates.

With only nine players available in the roster after getting bit by the injury bug, the Warriors made sure they played together and fed off each other’s energy.

Curry finished with 28 points, three rebounds, and six assists, while Kelly Oubre Jr. had himself a huge evening with a career-high 40 points, including shooting 7-0f-10 from long distance. Five more Warriors also finished with twin digits in scoring.

The 32-year-old Curry has continually shown that he holds the Warriors together. His leadership is a consistent key for role players to build confidence. In the final quarter against the Mavericks, the Warriors scored 37 points, displaying fluid ball movement for easy opportunities for everyone.

With no fans in the building, Curry provided extra motivation for his teammates. He has always said that he likes to have fun whenever he steps on the hardwood, echoing coach Steve Kerr's mantra of “playing with joy.”

The Warriors will need Curry’s energy even more to finish the season on the right track. The Warriors' campaign has been inconsistent, but the leadership of Stephen Curry seems to be constant.
