It should not come as a surprise that the Golden State Warriors have won several games in a row. The franchise has been accustomed to success over the last decade, stringing together unparalleled streaks and leaving their opponents with no chance. Despite not being in their best form, any win is still a motivation for the Warriors to keep moving forward and not give up on the season.
In their latest victory, the Californians defeated the Boston Celtics with a score of 132-126, led by an outstanding performance from Stephen Curry who scored 33 points and made 6 out of 11 three-pointers. Although the Warriors’ record is now 13-14, they are still far behind their hypothetical rivals in the West, ranking 11th.
The return of the Splash Brothers, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, is the best news for the Warriors. They played exceptionally well together in the final minutes of the game against Boston, reminiscent of their performances in 2015. Klay’s 24 points were decisive for the team, while Derrick White had a superb game for the visitors, scoring 30 points and grabbing 7 rebounds.
The game between the Warriors and the Celtics was highly anticipated, as they were the two teams that played for the championship in the summer of 2022. The Celtics started strong, taking advantage of the Warriors’ turnovers and moving the ball well, but the Warriors survived and turned the scoreboard around in the last quarter. Boston played poorly in the final minutes, lacking ideas on offense and fluidity in the game, while the Warriors’ defense, led by Jonathan Kuminga, was sensational. The rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis also had a standout game, with 10 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, and several plays of a very high level.
In overtime, the Warriors pulled off some magic to secure the win, giving no choice to the Celtics and changing a dynamic that seemed to be going against them. The victory showed flashes of a bygone era and proved that the Warriors are back to thrilling their fans again.
