Stephen Curry Ignites Warriors’ Comeback Fire Against Spurs
What a night it was for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. In a game that had every bit of drama, momentum swings, and pure shooting brilliance, the Warriors stormed past the San Antonio Spurs 125–120 — and it was Curry who stole the spotlight. The two-time MVP reminded everyone why he’s still one of the most dangerous players on the planet, dropping a season-high 44 points and leading the Warriors to a comeback win that silenced the Spurs’ early dominance.
From the very start, it looked like San Antonio had everything under control. They came in with one of the best defensive ratings in the league, built a 16-point lead, and were dictating the tempo. But as the game wore on, the Warriors’ trademark resilience began to show. The Spurs’ defense, which had been their biggest strength all season, suddenly looked lost. And when that happens against a team that lives and dies by the three-point shot, trouble is inevitable.

Curry was simply on another level. Every time he touched the ball, there was a sense that something special could happen — and it usually did. Whether it was pulling up from deep range, curling off screens, or breaking free with off-ball movement that only he can pull off, the Spurs had no answer. Even when they tried trapping or switching defenders, Curry kept finding space. His confidence never wavered, and by the fourth quarter, it felt like the Spurs were just hoping he’d miss. Spoiler alert — he didn’t, not when it mattered most.
The Warriors’ supporting cast played their roles perfectly too. Gary Payton II made smart cuts, Draymond Green orchestrated the offense, and the team’s ball movement created wide-open looks everywhere on the floor. By the end of the night, Golden State had attempted a staggering 57 three-pointers, connecting on 21 of them — a clear sign that San Antonio’s defense had completely unraveled.
On the other side, frustration was visible all over the Spurs. Despite Victor Wembanyama’s impressive energy and a pair of triple-doubles, turnovers and fouls cost them dearly. They were far too aggressive defensively, giving the Warriors easy points at the free-throw line and losing focus at key moments.
For Golden State, this win was more than just another notch in the standings — it was a statement that they still have the heart of a champion. For San Antonio, it was a wake-up call that even elite defense won’t hold up if you give Curry and the Warriors room to breathe.
They’ll meet again soon, but one thing’s for sure: if Stephen Curry shoots like that again, no defensive game plan will be enough.
