Curry's Clutch: Warriors Edge Spurs in Thrilling Upset - ESPN
Stephen Curry scored 46 points as the Golden State Warriors handed the San Antonio Spurs their first home defeat of the season, 125-120. The two-time NBA MVP played a crucial role in ending a six-game losing streak for the Warriors on the road.
In the second half, Curry's scoring spree helped the Warriors outscore the Spurs by 76-64. He also contributed eight rebounds and seven assists to his team's cause.
"We did what we do - got stops, pushed, created easy offense," said Curry after the game. "I was able to knock a couple down."
Warriors teammates Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody chipped in with 28 points and 19 points, respectively, as the Warriors secured their first win on home turf this season.
However, the Spurs were not without their heroes. Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle became the first players for the Spurs to record triple-doubles in the same game. Despite this, Curry's outstanding performance ultimately sealed the deal for the Warriors.
The Thunder thrashed the Lakers 121-92, with reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recording 30 points, five rebounds and nine assists. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic continued his dominance by scoring 55 points in a 130-116 victory over the Clippers.

! His clutch performances are exactly what the Warriors need to turn their season around 
. And can we talk about how epic it was for Wembanyama and Castle to record those triple-doubles? Young talent alert! 
Still, gotta say, I'm a bit worried about our little ones watching these high-scoring games... all that energy and excitement might not be good for their sleep schedules 
.
i was so hyped when he scored those last few shots to win for the warriors 
but what really caught my eye was Victor Wembanyama's triple-double, nice to see him and Stephon Castle shine for the spurs 
however, it's crazy how Curry can carry his team to a win like that, especially on the road 
anyway, enough about that game, have u seen the latest basketball highlight reel from espn? 
. The guy's got ice in his veins! But seriously, that Spurs team is like a puzzle with missing pieces - they're just trying to figure out how to stop Curry, but it's like throwing darts blindfolded 
. On the other hand, Wembanyama and Castle are like the dynamic duo of Spursville 
. I wonder if they got a bonus for being triple-double masters 
. And by the way, have you seen the Warriors' bench lately? It looks like a bad 90s boy band - all hair, no skill 
but what I'm taking away from this game is that teamwork makes the dream work 
. And let's be real, Curry's record-breaking season is still on, but it's also about how he elevates his teammates and helps them win.
! I mean, 46 points is insane, but he carried the Warriors to that win with so much heart and determination 
. The Thunder-Lakers game was crazy too! Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on fire 
at the concession stand and now i have to spend the rest of the night trying to clean it
. I'm so hyped for these guys right now, they're on fire 
! The guy is a genius on the court, no doubt about it 
. And can we talk about the Spurs' defense? They got torched by Steph Curry in the second half 
. Did you see the Thunder-Lakers game? 121-92 is insane 
...
. And can we talk about Victor Wembanyama for a sec? The kid's got skills for days! 
also, can we talk about how epic victor wembanyama's triple-double was? he's like a young superstar! 
. i'm still trying to process what happened with the spurs, did they even get a chance to rest those legs?
