Steph Curry looks invigorated lately. It’s about his health, the time of the season, their place in the standings and the trade: “All of it.”

The Nets devised a gameplan entirely focused on taking Steph Curry out of the game. He has 31 points on 11/17 from the field and 6/10 from three with five minutes remaining.
That’s what the great ones do. – 9:53 PM

Erik Slater @erikslater_
Keon Johnson got the starting nod and is being tasked with face-guarding Steph Curry.
Easier said than done, but he’s held up well thus far. – 7:53 PM

Draymond Green suggests on his podcast that Karl-Anthony Towns missed Tuesday’s game vs GSW because he wanted to avoid Jimmy Butler. Green casually throwing this out there on his platform without researching the situation is extremely irresponsible: pic.x.com/UkUpMp2111 – 5:55 PM

The Warriors are 9-1 with Jimmy Butler. The most impressive of those wins just came against the Knicks. Steve Kerr and Butler talked about their forming identity and Steph Curry’s gravity afterward.

Jimmy Butler on former Bulls teammate and Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy: “I’m grateful that he saw what I could bring to this organization. It’s always good to be wanted. I’m wanted and appreciated here. We’ve got a goal to do. I’m glad I’m here to help these guys reach this goal.” pic.x.com/ZDFGfMr0Cy – 11:30 PM

More on this storyline

StatMuse: Jimmy Butler has the 5th most free throws by a Warrior this season. He’s only been on the team for 11 games. pic.x.com/T1O6cjxDSN -via Twitter @statmuse / March 6, 2025
Ohm Youngmisuk: Steve Kerr loved this win and how Golden State stuck it out after a slow start. He loved what he saw from Jimmy Butler, who calmed things down, showed poise and then got to the line when Warriors needed it most. Kerr said Butler “bludgeoned” his way to the line when he had to. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / March 4, 2025
Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr said the Warriors are developing a “real identity.” What is it? “Two-way team. Last 10 games, I think we are second in both offense and defense. Small sample size, but that’s when we got Jimmy.” pic.x.com/wSMP41Gu5A -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / March 4, 2025
Erik Slater: Jordi Fernandez on the Nets’ defense on Steph Curry during his 40-point night: “That’s why he’s the best shooter ever and one of the best players in the world… I still think our guys did a great job. That’s how it looks when you play against a player like this.” pic.x.com/dva0d9S7bR -via Twitter @erikslater_ / March 6, 2025
Nick DePaula: Stephen Curry is in the “Spark” Curry 12 tonight — inspired by his rise and impact at Davidson. pic.x.com/Kok4o5n7XS -via Twitter @NickDePaula / March 6, 2025
Draymond Green on Stephen Curry’s GOAT case: He 100 percent is in that conversation and he 1,000 percent belongs in that conversation. When you talk about what he’s done, what he does on the basketball court, there’s no one in the history of the NBA, and with all due respect to LeBron James, with all due respect to Michael Jordan, with all due respect to my favorite player of all time the great Shaquille O’Neal, there’s no one in the history of the NBA that has been schemed against and guarded the way Steph Curry is guarded. I mean, teams throw their whole defense at him, I’ve played in the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers and got wide open layups, dunks in transition, because he’s running on the wing and they’d rather go run and take the three away from him on the wing and give me a dunk. Kevin Durant, one of the greatest scorers we’ve ever seen, got wide open dunk straight down the lane because Steph Curry’s on one wing, Klay Thompson on the other wing. -via YouTube / March 6, 2025
