Steph Curry Says ‘Night-Night’ to Thunder as Warriors Cap Daunting Trip 4-1
A Trip to Remember for the Warriors
The Golden State Warriors capped off a daunting five-game road trip with a 128-120 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. The victory marked the Warriors' fourth win in five games on the trip, which included wins over the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics and a pair of victories over the Philadelphia 76ers.Stephen Curry led the way for the Warriors with 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists. Klay Thompson added 25 points, and Kevon Looney had 14 points and 21 rebounds.
The Thunder were led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 31 points. Josh Giddey added 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Jalen Williams had 19 points.
Curry Closes the Door
With the Warriors clinging to a 116-112 lead with just over two minutes remaining, Curry took over the game. He hit a jumper to push the lead to six, and then he came up with a steal and assisted on a dunk by Looney to make it 120-112.
After the Thunder cut the lead to five, Curry hit the dagger—a three-pointer from the top of the key—to put the game away.
A Dominant Trip
The Warriors' 4-1 record on this trip is a testament to their resilience and their ability to win in different ways. They won two games by double-digits, one game by a single point, and one game in overtime.
The Warriors are now 22-5 on the season, which is the best record in the NBA. They have won seven of their last eight games and are showing no signs of slowing down.
Looking Ahead
The Warriors will return home to face the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. The Pelicans are 18-12 on the season and are currently in sixth place in the Western Conference.
The Warriors will then have a chance to rest and regroup before they begin a four-game homestand next week. They will face the Memphis Grizzlies, the Utah Jazz, the Sacramento Kings, and the Los Angeles Clippers during that stretch.
