GAME LEADERS
Stephen Curry sure knows how to celebrate a birthday. The birthday boy celebrated the big 2-7 by putting together a personal highlight reel over the final two minutes of the second quarter and the Warriors cruised to a 125-94 win over the Knicks on Saturday night.
The party started when Curry knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to cap a 14-1 run late in the second quarter. A few moments later, he inhaled a defensive rebound and threw a length-of-the-court pass to a streaking Draymond Green, who finished the 90-foot, three-second possession with a layup. The All-Star guard was then on the receiving end of a touchdown pass, this one coming from Andrew Bogut, and Curry finished the possession by netting a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from six feet behind the line.
Curry finished the game with 25 points and 11 assists for his 11th 20-and-10 game (points/assists) of the season. While Curry definitely had it going in just 27 minutes of action, he wasn’t the only Splash Brother with the hot hand.
