[Saba Sports News] On Saturday night, all Kevin Durant could do was smile as Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ star, nailed a game-winning three-pointer against Durant’s Phoenix Suns, clinching a 113-112 victory at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
With the Warriors down by two and only 3.3 seconds remaining, Draymond Green set a screen on Durant, freeing Curry for a shot from the top of the key. Curry waited for the inbound pass to bounce, grabbed it about 30 feet from the hoop, and hit a deep three as the Suns’ defense frantically attempted to block the shot. Having witnessed Curry’s clutch performances both as a teammate and opponent, Durant could only smile in admiration as Curry celebrated the decisive basket.
Curry finished the game with 30 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and made 9 three-pointers, with the last one sealing the win. Durant, on the other hand, had a solid performance with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists, though he shot only 40% from the field.
This season, Curry has been instrumental in keeping the Warriors competitive, despite challenges from teammates and fluctuations in team performance. The win brought the Warriors’ record to an even 25-25, underscoring Curry’s critical role in the team’s fortunes.
