Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors to victory Saturday night at Chase Center.
The Warriors beat the Milwaukee Bucks without Giannis Antetokounmpo 125-116 in overtime to improve to 35-33 on the season.
Curry had just seven points in the first half before going on an incredible second-half run to help Golden State to victory, finishing with 36 points, six rebounds, four assists and one block. in 43 minutes.
The four-time NBA champion’s only block came on Jrue Holiday with 1.9 seconds left in regulation.
After the win, Curry was praised by NBA Twitter for his clutch performance, which has become all too common for the veteran:
Performances like this are expected of Curry, but they never get less spectacular when they happen.
The 34-year-old, who turns 35 on March 14, entered Saturday’s game averaging 29.6 points, 6.4 assists and 6.2 rebounds in 41 games this season while shooting 49 .7% from the ground and 43.4% from the depth.
If Curry continues to play at this level, the Warriors will undoubtedly be one of the toughest teams to face come playoff time, if they aren’t already.
The Warriors will be back in action Monday against the Phoenix Suns.
