The Golden State Warriors secured a hard-fought 97-94 victory over the New York Knicks, extending their winning streak and solidifying their momentum in the NBA season.
Curry’s Brilliance Leads the Charge
Stephen Curry once again proved why he remains one of the league’s most electrifying players, finishing as the top scorer with 28 points while also leading the team in rebounds and assists. His ability to stretch the Knicks’ defense opened up key opportunities for teammates like Draymond Green, who chipped in 9 points.
Knicks Struggle Without Brunson
With Jalen Brunson sidelined due to an ankle injury, the Knicks relied heavily on Karl-Anthony Towns, who delivered a dominant 29-point, 12-rebound performance. OG Anunoby added 23 points, while Miles McBride stepped up with 19 points to match Mikal Bridges.
Kerr Becomes Warriors’ Winningest Coach
This victory marked a historic milestone for Steve Kerr, who surpassed the legendary Al Attles to become the franchise’s all-time winningest coach.

Other key contributions:
