Along with the return of Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry extended his record 3-point streak to help the Golden State Warriors have their first victory in the last 7 matches.

After more than 2 weeks of being immersed in disappointment with 6 consecutive defeats and 7 losses in the last 8 appearances, Golden State Warriors fans can finally enjoy the joy. 

The “Splash Brothers” duo Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson returned, especially Klay with the highest scoring game since the beginning of the season. And when the pillars played well, the Warriors stopped a 6-match losing streak to equal victory. 121-116 against Houston Rockets.

Stephen Curry led Golden State with 5 successful long shots, scoring a total of 32 points with 16 points in the final quarter alone. Klay Thompson temporarily “cleared the air” with 7-16 FG and 5-11 3PT, scoring 20 points and 3 assists.

Chris Paul continued to play the role of leader with a double-double of 15 points (3-5 3PT) and especially 12 assists. Bigman Dario Saric is the remaining prominent name with 18 points despite coming from the bench.

“Not a perfect or beautiful victory, but this is the result we really need at this time ,” coach Steve Kerr said after the first win in the last 7 appearances.

“Hopefully the whole team will focus and see this as a stepping stone to regain the feeling of victory in the coming matches.”

This is the first victory for Stephen Curry and Golden State in the past 2 weeks

Already the greatest shooter in history with the highest number of 3-pointers of all time, Stephen Curry has extended his record of having at least 4 successful 3-pointers to 13 games this season. 

With an average of 30.3 points in 33.2 minutes of play per game, the “chef” is leading these two indicators at Golden State, far ahead of second place, Klay Thompson (14 points in 29 minutes per game).

Today he reached 8-14 FG and 5-9 3PT, marking the 7th game since the beginning of the season to reach the 30 point mark and the 10th game scoring at least 25 points. 

Accompanying Steph is the return of Klay Thompson, a pitcher who is showing signs of losing form before this match against the Rockets.

Having only had 4 successful 3-pointers in the previous 3 games, Klay today pocketed 5 long-range shots (5-11 3PT) on his way to a season-high 20 point game, reaching 7-16 FG with 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

The number of 20 points is not too impressive for a high-value player like Klay Thompson, but this is a positive point for him to use as leverage for the next matches.
