The Golden State Warriors, where Curry returned, defeated the Washington Wizards 125-112 in an away game of the 2024-2025 NBA regular season at Capital One Arena in Washington on the 5th (Korea time).
At the beginning of the season, Golden State is on an unexpected roll. He has six wins and one loss. It is a powerful dark horse in the west.
Golden State, which sent Thompson to Dallas, brought in Shooter Hield.
It is more firepower than expected. I'm enjoying the gravity Curry makes. The accuracy rate is highly sensitive.
Curry, who returned from injury, scored 24 points and six assists on the day, while Hield scored 20 points.
Golden State, which led 29-20 in the first quarter with Curry and Hill's explosive outposts, tapped Washington's weak defense with newcomers Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody in the second quarter.
This season, Golden State has excellent old and new harmony with Koominga, Pozemski, Moody and Jackson-Davidson, even though Curry, Green, and Hield take the center stage.
However, Washington also chased down Golden State ace Jordan Poole with consecutive points. In the end, he finished with a Golden State lead of 54-45, nine points.
In the third quarter, however, Golden State ended the third quarter 93-81 with Curry the winner taking control of the game, showing solid finishing power.
Golden State's performance this season was uncertain. Curry and Green are a year older. Thompson exited, and the power reinforcement was not significant. However, Hield, who has sophisticated 3-point shooting ability, is very solid as he assists Curry.
