Shortly after the conclusion of the NBA All-Star game in 2024, Stephen Curry reached a new level of success when he participated in the “destruction” of the Los Angeles Lakers by the Golden State Warriors on their home court.
When it comes to scoring points, Stephen Curry is particularly well-known for his ability to make long throws. He has established and continues to maintain a lot of records in this regard. Nevertheless, the great player for the Golden State Warriors is also a point guard who frequently creates scoring opportunities for his teammates. This is in addition to his ability to finish the game.By destroying the Los Angeles Lakers at home this morning (February 23), he accomplished a new milestone in this regard. His teammates from the Warriors were the ones who accomplished this.
At the conclusion of the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers on February 23, Stephen Curry showed his joy by celebrating. After scoring 32 points with 12-24 field goals, 6 3-pointers, 3 steals, and 8 assists in 32 minutes of play, Stephen Curry became the first player in the history of the Golden State Warriors to reach 6,000 assists in the regular season. All of these accomplishments were accomplished by Curry.Among the eight assists that the “chef” provided against the Los Angeles Lakers, the one that stood out the most was the one-touch, behind-the-back pass that was made to Andrew Wiggins without looking back. It was far more important to Curry to rejoice with Draymond Green than with Wiggins.As a result of surpassing the aforementioned assist milestone, Stephen Curry became the eighth player in the history of the National Basketball Association to have earned at least 23,000 points and 6,000 assists.The famous Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, John Havlicek, and the three players who are presently active in the game, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden, are among the seven names that have accomplished this feat in the past.
On the other side of the front line, the Los Angeles Lakers were once again in a position to chase, but they were unable to recreate the comeback that they had completed in the previous game. Under those circumstances, LeBron James and his colleagues were able to overcome a 15-point deficit and emerge victorious with a score of 145-144 after two overtime periods.With LeBron James out due to an ankle injury, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a defeat of 128-110. After leading by 17 points in the third quarter, they “raised the white flag” in the middle of the fourth quarter in order to avoid having to play consecutive games the next morning. This was done in order to avoid the core team having to play back-to-back games.
Anthony Davis tried, but not enough to help the Lakers win the game without LeBron James.Anthony Davis led the Los Angeles team with 27 points (11-19 from the field), 15 rebounds, and three blocks. A good showing, but not enough to keep the Lakers’ three-game winning streak intact.This result brought the Golden State Warriors (10th, 28-26) closer to the Los Angeles Lakers (9th, 30-27) in the West. The two teams will also play twice during the regular season, on March 17 and April 10, respectively.
