The Lakers swept the Warriors from the semifinals with an ending score of 122-101. Despite their best efforts, only Stephen Curry and Donte DiVincenzo were able to lead the Warriors in scoring with double digits. Curry in particular put on a standout effort. He scored 32 points while scooping six rebounds and five assists. His exceptional contributions, though, were insufficient to keep the Warriors from going home.

The Golden State Warriors‘ run in the playoffs came to an end as a result of the Los Angeles Lakers‘ outstanding performance in Game 6. However, Stephen Curry doesn’t stop his grind. Meanwhile, in a recent episode of ‘NBA on TNT,’ Curry, when he found the chance to confront Charles Barkley, didn’t hold back from doing so.

The last time that Stephen Curry participated in ‘The Match,’ he lost to Charles Barkley in the 2020 edition of The Match.
