Stephen Curry does things that can only do a Stephen curry. Even at the age of 37, his litter can still be stopped from a distance. This time the victims: the Memphis Grizzlies with the former Bonn success coach Tuomas Iisalo.
Basketball superstar Stephen Curry has delivered the next gala performance in the NBA. The 37-year-old could not stop at the 134:125 of his Golden State Warriors at the Memphis Grizzlies with 52 points. Thanks to the outstanding performance of Curry, the twelve of his 20 attempts from a distance, the Warriors in the Western Conference are fifth on play-off course.
The grizzlies, on the other hand, received the next defeat under Tuomas Iisalo and fell back to sixth place. Iisalo, who led the Telekom Baskets Bonn to the Champions League victory in 2023, had made his debut as interim coach near Memphis after the dismissal of Taylor Jenkins on Sunday at 137:145 against Los Angeles Lakers.
After his next bankruptcy, however, the Finn also had only admiring words for Curry. “It is a feast for the eyes, as he acts,” said Iisalo: “We didn’t want him to do three-point throws-and he still found a way to get started. It is very difficult to stop a player of this caliber.” In view of the outstanding performance of Currry, who delivered a 50-point game for the second time this season and for the 15th time in his career, his teammate DRAYMOND Green (13 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists) was almost into the background.
“The man is 37 years old, that’s incredible,” enthused Warriors coach Steve Kerr from Curry. “The condition, the skills, boldness, faith – it is incredible to watch Steph at work.”
Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic even came up with the NBA season of 61 points, the three times MVP played at the 139:140 of his Denver Nuggets against the Minnesota Timberwolves after second extension. As the third player in the league history, the Serb made a triple double with at least 60 points, Jokic was permanently on the floor after the half-time break.
Giannis Antetokounmpo meanwhile ended the series of defeats with the Milwaukee Bucks. After four bankruptcies in a row, the franchise around the Greek superstar prevailed against the Phoenix Suns with 133: 123, Antetokounmpo shone with 37 points as the best thrower of his team. The Bucks are in sixth in the Eastern Conference.
