Curry, four-time NBA champion with the Warriors (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022) is still putting on a show, at 38, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The “Chief” scored 29 points in 28 minutes played, with 50% 3-point success (6/12), including 22 pawns in the second half alone.
He was perfectly accompanied by rookie Yaxel Landeborg (17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists), valuable at the end of the match with two interceptions to seal the outcome against the Giannis Antetokounmpo gang (20 points, 14 rebounds), Bam Adebayo (18 points, 10 rebounds) and Davion Mitchell (22 points, 8 assists).
San Francisco had started badly, leading by 10 points from the start of the match, but recovered in the second quarter (36-36), to bring the two teams on an equal footing at half-time (53-53).
The Warriors shifted into high gear after returning from the locker room, with a great Steph Curry and a series of 17 3 points against Miami to win the round hands down (38 to 23 in the third quarter alone).
Curry scored two more baskets behind the arc in the final quarter, just to liven up the show and widen the gap, before going to sit on the bench in the last minutes, with the feeling of work accomplished.
After three initial defeats, the Warriors have had six victories for a record that is the exact opposite of the Miami Heat (3 victories for 6 defeats).
In the other game of the evening, the Phoenix Suns beat the Orlando Magic 117-104 thanks to Devin Booker with 30 points and 8 assists.
Despite a double-double from Wendell Carter Jr (27 points, 13 rebounds), Orlando suffered its sixth defeat of the season, when the Suns scored their second victory after 7 games.
