In a tightly contested matchup, the Golden State Warriors emerged victorious with a 140-137 win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday evening in Salt Lake City.

Steph Curry, the two-time MVP, continued to etch his name in the NBA record books, playing in his 932nd career game, a milestone that ties him with Hall of Famer Jerry West for 219th on the NBA’s all-time games played list. The next player in line for Curry to surpass is Mychal Thompson, with 935 games.

Curry’s performance this season has been nothing short of remarkable, averaging 28.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game while maintaining impressive shooting percentages of 46.5% from the field and 42.3% from beyond the arc in 49 games. Notably, Curry has set an NBA record by making seven or more three-pointers in each of the previous four games.

In the Warriors’ recent loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Curry once again showcased his offensive prowess, tallying 41 points, four rebounds, and five assists while shooting 15-of-31 from the field and 9-of-19 from three-point range in 35 minutes of action.

Despite Curry’s stellar performances, the Warriors find themselves with a 26-26 record in 52 games, placing them as the tenth seed in the competitive Western Conference standings. However, the team had shown promise with a five-game winning streak before the setback against the Clippers.

Looking ahead, the Warriors will host Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Chase Center in San Francisco on January 22. With a balanced record of 12-12 on the road and 14-14 at home, the Warriors aim to maintain their momentum and improve their standing in the Western Conference playoff race.

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz, currently the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 26-29 record in 55 games, continue to vie for a postseason berth amidst a challenging season.
