Stephen Curry might keep all the taunts thrown at him at the back of his mind and throw some of the most iconic performances back at you by way of an answer. But he is not one to let a victory get to his head or a loss pull him down. Last night’s 35-point win vs the Milwaukee Bucks was a beautiful affair.
The entire Golden State Warriors team came together in a stunning symphony to decimate Giannis Antetokounmpo’s early rush. No one would believe that this was the same team that the Boston Celtics had crushed with a 52-point blowout loss! Of course, much of it was thanks to some sudden defensive strategy “15 minutes before leaving the locker room”.
Anyway, none of it seems to impact Stephen Curry’s mindset. Taking to X ahead of the Chicago Bulls matchup, he tweeted, “Staying even keel…21 to go!” referring to the number of games the Warriors have yet to play before the postseason.

Curry almost flirted with a double-double, finishing with a game-high 29 points and eight rebounds, while dishing out five assists.
Stephen Curry remains the cornerstone of the Warriors
Steph might not be able to carry the entire team on his back, but he remains, to this day, crucial for the team. Gone were the days when Stephen Curry alone was enough for the Warriors to get back to business. After all, there is only so much Father Time can be patient. Yet, the 4x champion continues to face every challenge thrown his way with the same determination that got him here in the first place.

In the 61 games the GSW has played so far, Curry has missed just three. And they lost all three of them. The team holds a 33-25 record when Curry takes the floor.
