The Golden State Warriors are on fire, defying expectations with a jaw-dropping seven-game winning streak after a nail-biting victory over the New York Knicks, 97-94. This latest triumph marks their twelfth win in the last thirteen games, propelling them to a 39-28 record and positioning them just two games behind the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference standings.
The Warriors showcased a relentless team effort, with Steph Curry leading the charge, scoring 28 points, grabbing seven rebounds, and dishing out five assists. Despite a challenging shooting night, Curry’s ability to draw fouls and convert from the free-throw line—hitting eight of nine—proved crucial in this tightly contested matchup. His performance underscores why the Warriors are nearly unstoppable when he’s on his game.
Moses Moody shone brightly as well, contributing 18 points and continuing to demonstrate the impact of his presence in the starting lineup, as Golden State boasts an astonishing 18-1 record when he starts. Jimmy Butler, despite a quieter scoring night with 11 points, made his mark through his rebounding and playmaking, reinforcing the Warriors’ depth and versatility.
Defensively, the Warriors were tenacious, limiting the Knicks to just 94 points and forcing 12 turnovers. They controlled the boards, out-rebounding New York 45-42, and their defensive prowess was evident as they clamped down in critical moments, ensuring they never relinquished the lead.
This victory not only cements the Warriors’ status as a formidable contender in the West but also marks a historic milestone for head coach Steve Kerr, who surpassed Hall of Famer Al Attles for the most wins in franchise history. With their momentum building, the Warriors are poised to challenge anyone in their path as they gear up for a tough matchup against the Denver Nuggets next. The urgency is palpable—this team is on a mission, and they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
