Corey, who won four league titles with the Warriors in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022, continued to provide his distinguished performances despite reaching the age of 38, stressing that he is still capable of making a difference in his team.

“The Chef” scored 29 points within 28 minutes of play, with a success rate of 50 percent from beyond the arc (6 out of 12), including 22 points in the second half alone.

Curry received distinguished support from newcomer Jaxel Lundborg, who scored 17 points with 8 rebounds and six assists. He also played an important role in the final minutes with two decisive steals of the ball, as his team settled the confrontation against Miami, whose ranks featured Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo (20 points and 14 rebounds), Bam Adebayo (18 points and 10 rebounds), and Davion Mitchell (22 points and 8 assists).

Golden State had started the game in a faltering manner, trailing by 10 points since the first minutes, but it succeeded in making a comeback during the second quarter, which ended in a 36-36 tie, before the two teams entered the break with the score indicating a 53-53 tie.

The Warriors increased their performance after the break, led by Curry, and imposed their advantage through a series of 17 points compared to 3 for Miami, to end the third quarter with a large lead (38-23).

Corey continued to showcase his skills in the last quarter by scoring two more shots from beyond the arc, widening the gap and igniting the enthusiasm of the crowd, before sitting on the bench in the final minutes.

After three consecutive defeats at the beginning of the season, Golden State achieved six consecutive victories, making its record completely opposite to the Heat's record, which achieved three victories versus six defeats.

In the other match, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Orlando Magic 117-104, thanks to the brilliance of Devin Booker, who scored 30 points with 8 assists.
