Stephen Curry Makes Powerful Statement After 41-Point Outing Extends Warriors’ Winning Streak

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors came away with a nail-biting 126-119 overtime win at the Chase Center tonight against the Orlando Magic . The 38-year-old point guard finished with 41 points, six rebounds, and six assists, shooting 13-19 from the field (68.4% FG) and 5-10 from beyond the arc (50.0% 3P). After the win, when the NBC broadcaster told Stephen Curry he joined Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson in the elite group of point guards in the league’s history with 25,000+ points and 5,000+ rebounds, he shared a powerful reflection on the team and his own resilience. “I told everybody, the longer you play, from the heights that you know I’ve experienced, there’s going to be a lot of history and names that you continue to climb,” Stephen Curry said . “And for every one of them, I’m just so grateful. Amazing win tonight to do it in a winning fashion. But as long as I got my health, this crowd, and this team, I’m going to continue to give it everything I got.” “I just love the resiliency, the attitude, and the commitment from everybody to, when you step on the floor, just play hard. We don’t forget where people thought we were at the beginning of the year. So it’s just a matter of continuing to build,” Curry further added . Team members of the Magic reportedly said that Stephen Curry was the sole reason that the Warriors came away with the win tonight. So his performance is a testament not only to his greatness but also to his resilience in keeping up this level despite recovering from lingering injuries over the past few seasons. His performance helped the team improve to a 7-3 record this season after a 0-3 start, pushing their winning streak to seven games tonight. During the postgame press conference , a reporter asked Curry to reflect on the team’s performance during this stretch and whether he had a grade for it. “I think we’re doing all the things we need to convince ourselves that we are the team we think we can be. Starting 0-3, nobody’s panicking, but it’s still a feeling that you don’t like because you’re not being rewarded for the effort you’re putting in.” “And then you rattle seven in a row off, winning in a lot of different ways. I don’t have a grade. My take is that we’re a very resilient team. That matters to be a part of a good, maybe great team down the stretch of the year.” “If you can withstand some rough nights, whether it’s shooting the ball, turnovers, whatever, and you’re still finding a way to win, that’s kind of how tonight went. I’m proud of everything that we’re doing, and we just got to keep it going,” he concluded. Stephen Curry is currently averaging 31.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 49.7% from the field and 44.7% from behind the three-point line in eight games played this season. The Warriors are now set to host the Pelicans on Monday, November 9. It remains to be seen whether Stephen Curry can maintain his form and lead the Warriors to an eight-game winning streak that night.
