Stephen Curry showed once again why he’s a superstar in the NBA, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 114-102 victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on March 4, 2025. Despite a slow start, Curry finished the game with 28 points, helping the Warriors end the Knicks’ three-game winning streak.
Curry’s performance was not without its challenges. In the first half, he struggled against Mikal Bridges, who played tight defense, limiting Curry to just eight points. However, Curry turned it around in the second half, scoring 14 points in the third quarter and hitting a crucial three-pointer in the fourth that helped secure the win.
The Knicks had a strong showing from OG Anunoby, who scored 29 points, and Jalen Brunson, who added 25. However, the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns, who was out for personal reasons, left the Knicks without key offensive support. This resulted in only three Knicks players reaching double digits in scoring.
Curry almost didn’t play due to a sore left ankle, but he was determined to take the court at the iconic venue. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr highlighted the significance of the game, and Curry delivered, hitting two free throws and consecutive baskets early in the third quarter to give his team momentum.
As the game progressed, Curry found himself open for shots, and he capitalized, including a pivotal three-pointer that extended the Warriors’ lead. The Knicks had opportunities to stay in the game, but they struggled with turnovers and missed shots in the crucial moments of the fourth quarter.
Curry’s ability to shine in high-pressure situations is well-known, and this game added to his legacy at Madison Square Garden. The crowd, filled with Curry jerseys, eagerly anticipated his shots, and he did not disappoint. This matchup was another reminder of Curry’s talent and the excitement he brings to the game.
