The return of superstar Stephen Curry has helped the Golden State Warriors extend their winning streak in the 2024/2025 NBA season.
Stephen Curry returned from a three-game absence, scoring 24 points in the Golden State Warriors’ 125-112 win over the Washington Wizards on the evening of November 4 (local time). Buddy Hield also added 20 points, helping the Warriors maintain their unbeaten record on the road, now 4-0.
Curry, who sprained his left ankle in an Oct. 27 game against the Los Angeles Clippers, shot 4 of 9 from the 3-point line, while Hield shot 3 of 8 from distance. For the Wizards, Jordan Poole also scored 24 points and Kyshawn George added 20, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the team’s second straight loss.
The Warriors started the game strong, scoring seven straight points and never trailing. Curry took just 39 seconds to open the scoring with a 3-pointer from 100 feet.
Trailing by as many as 17 points late in the third quarter, the Wizards cut the deficit to 101-96 on a Carlton Carrington three-pointer at the 8:28 mark of the final quarter. However, Jonathan Kuminga immediately responded with a short layup and Lindy Waters III hit a 3-pointer to restore the Warriors’ double-digit advantage.
Curry also added six assists in the Warriors’ third straight win in the capital. Draymond Green added 18 points, eight rebounds and five assists, while Kuminga had 15 points, Trayce Jackson-Davis 12 and Moses Moody 10. Kevon Looney led the Warriors in rebounds with 10.
Poole hit just 2 of 10 from the 3-point line, while George shot 6 of 17, leaving the Wizards with a 23.3 percent field goal (10 of 43). The Warriors shot 32.4 percent (12 of 37) from the line.
Rookie selected with the No. 2 pick this year, Alexandre Sarr had 11 rebounds and scored 10 more points, while center Jonas Valanciunas scored 16 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists.
