The Golden State Warriors have evolved. But not for the best arguably. This is the reason they haven’t been making their signature impact on the game lately. After all, they are known to dominate. The tier one team has been falling apart this team. After their 13th win in the league today, they are possibly foreseeing a chance in the playoff. They got past San Antonio Spurs 114-91. All thanks to their talisman Stephen Curry and his enigmatic plays. Which left Head Coach Steve Kerr full of praise for the 3-point King.

As of the game, the Dubs were down trodden early. Yet after Rudy Gay and Demar DeRozan failed to perform, the game was taken over by Stephen Curry and co. their veteran forward Draymond Green had 11 assists to his name. However, Curry exploded for 32 by the end of regulation. Steph was in mood ball making acrobatic layups fall. One of the mind blowers was where he flipped the ball against three defenders on a reverse layup and it counted. He had a crazy 1st quarter though.

The whole game was packed with beautiful offence. However, the circus layup was a highlight real. This play certainly left an impression on head coach Steve Kerr. He was fascinated the way Stephen Curry put the ball in with and one to count. This reminded the former player of legendary Michael Jordan. He said, “That play was sort of Jordan esque. You know, I saw him make that move. Many times, you know, go to go the rim get fouled and just kind of, you know, flick it backwards. He didn’t always make it but he you know, he, he liked doing that shot and that was a that was an incredible example of body control and touch and feel. What an amazing shot.”

This season Steph has a lot to ask for. Sealed up with huge responsibilities Curry needs to be at his best to deliver. He is already averaging 29.9 insane points per game. The impressive display continues to amaze fans. He already made bold statement how the team needs to improve if they want to go deeper in the playoff. Yet the winning momentum is lacking somewhere for the franchise.
