Warriors avert disappointment, thanks to Curry

Despite losing Chris Paul, the Warriors maintained control for most of the game and managed to not falter down the stretch this time.

Against the Pistons, Steph sank four crucial free throws and knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in the final 92 seconds, securing the Warriors’ victory. Overall, Curry added 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, providing the spark the Warriors needed to bounce back from the previous loss.
