Stephen Curry Puts an Early End to the Mavericks’ Hopes

Stephen Curry is still one of the NBA’s most dangerous players at the age of 36. He led the Golden State Warriors to a decisive 126-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, putting on another masterclass—and he didn’t even have to play the fourth quarter.

Curry made an immediate impression on Klay Thompson, his former colleague. He destroyed the Mavericks‘ defense by scorching them for 30 points on 12 of 20 shooting.

With Curry and newly acquired star Jimmy Butler leading the way, the Warriors, who have already won five of their previous six games, appeared invincible.

Usually reserved for pivotal times, Curry’s trademark “night-night” celebration was employed in the third quarter, directly against P.J. Washington, who had previously done the same against the Warriors this month. The game was done, and that was the unmistakable message.

With the victory, Golden State is now only 1.5 games behind the Clippers. The Warriors are putting a lot of effort into avoiding the play-in tournament and securing their postseason spot as their momentum grows and Curry is playing at his best.
