This isn’t usually a Warriors PR Burner Account, but tonight deserves it:

With 42 points, Stephen Curry has scored 40 points in back-to-back games for the first time since a 3-game 40-point streak from Feb. 24-27, 2016. It's the first time a Warriors player has had consecutive 40-point games since Kevin Durant (3-straight) from Nov. 24-29, 2018.

Stephen Curry has his second consecutive game with double-digit three-pointers (11-of-16 3FG), his 19th career game with double-digit threes. It's the second time Curry has hit double-digit threes in back-to-back games in his career.

Stephen Curry has his eighth consecutive 30-point game (his 200th career 30-point game), becoming the first Warrior to score at least 30 points in eight-straight games since Rick Barry did so in 1966-67.

Stephen Curry hit 8-of-8 from the field (6-of-6 from three) in the 3rd quarter, the first Warrior to go an entire quarter without a miss on at least eight attempts since Klay Thompson hit all 13 of his shots (9-of-9 3FG) in his 37-point quarter on Jan. 23, 2015 vs. the Kings.

Standings Watch

  • GSW plays OKC two more times this year. Not so good for the Tank Commander.

  • NOP is at 25-30 at the #11 spot, 2 games behind GSW. Between May 3 and May 14, GSW and NOP will face each other 3 times, so if they are still close in the standings, GSW-NOP would be a micro-play-in to the play-in.

  • I… hesitate to bring this up, but with Wiseman out (and Oubre out and/or possibly playing more within himself), we have to consider the possibility that GSW is actually a good team when Steph is on. And that means that if they go on a hot streak, they might actually catch DAL, which is #10 in the league overall (and #7 in the West). DAL is 29-24, so GSW is only 3 games behind them. If that happens, GSW will lose their 1st round draft pick this year.

Cleveland is hard core. They’re announcing all of the things that will get you ejected and or arrested.

This is the contending version of the team finally being forced to play real minutes. They did what contenders should do over the last few games. What would the narrative have been around this team if they had been playing these lineups as often as they were available from the beginning of the season?
