The Golden State Warriors knocked the Timberwolves on the road. After a tough loss to the Grizzlies, they stormed into the Target Center and took down Minnesota 113-103. Stephen Curry secured a game-high 31 points, Brandin Podziemski’s 12 points, and Trayce Jackson-Davis’ 15-point game played an important role in reviving the Dubs’ glory. Up against the relentless Anthony Edwards, the Warriors revived themselves with a much-needed win. They reminded everyone why they once had a dynasty and it’s never too late to build another one.

At the same time, Curry’s sole focus remains on winning more games. A 15-12 record and seventh seed in the Western Conference is not what the 36-year-old is looking for. Thus, if individual errors like the ones Dennis Schroder made, which led to four fouls that led to a master plan, he’s ready to overlook such mistakes. That’s because, at the end of the day, it’s the team play that matters, and it’s the team play that’ll win more games.

The Baby-Faced Assassin is willing to overlook a few errors from the players around him. Stephen Curry said: “Coach has a certain point of view which he’s trying to get us into organized sets, for me and anybody who plays with me. You have to play with confidence and be decisive. And you’re okay with mistakes, as long as they’re done with a mindset of you trying to be aggressive. I’m cool with that.”

He added: “We can talk about adjustments and reads and sets that allow me to be a threat on the ball. Off the ball to create easy shots, and over the course of 48 minutes, if we have more of that bucket then the bucket coach is talking about. We’re gonna be in good shape.”

Simply put, Stephen Curry emphasized that the mistakes made should have positive consequences for the team. One setback to have three times a comeback. And maybe Dennis Schroder‘s fouls that led to a whole new strategic alteration scream Curry’s mindset. Had the coach not changed the plans around Stephen Curry during the timeout, who knows what the result might have been? Maybe a 14-13 record instead of 15-12, who knows?

Besides, those fouls did alter Steve Kerr’s plans. And the HC shared his little insights on the same.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Curry's leadership spark another Warriors dynasty, or are their glory days truly behind them?

Have an interesting take?

After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr kept the tradition alive, stepping up for the postgame presser. The 59-year-old genius revealed how Dennis Schroder’s fouls handed him a golden chance to tweak the strategy with Stephen Curry. Let’s just say, it was a masterstroke that worked like magic for the 2022 champs!

“Dennis’ fourth foul. I told once he picked up his fourth, I told Steph in the timeout. And I said, ‘I’m going to run, you take Dennis out early,'” Steve Kerr shared. “I didn’t want Dennis to pick up his fifth, and normally, Dennis would stay in until the three or four minutes mark. So, I flipped their rotation, and it felt like the right thing to do.” It’s safe to say that Coach Kerr’s instincts were correct, and the whole Schroder-Curry swap worked out perfectly. Stephen Curry had enough time to rack up 13 points, and a game-winning dagger in the final minutes sealed the deal for the team.
