Steve Kerr, coach of the Golden State Warriors, praised Stephen Curry’s performance and highlighted the importance of having an exceptional player: “Steph is always incredible. Even when he doesn’t score 36 points, he draws the attention of his opponents defensively and opens up space in the attack. He’s a remarkable player. He really stood out on a night when we needed to win.” The performance wasn’t limited to Curry; Congolese Jonathan Kuminga also performed well, scoring 19 points, four more than Klay Thompson. This was the Warriors’ 16th win of the season.
Kerr emphasized the team’s solidarity and the search for alternatives to guarantee victory: “It was a game in which the team found ways to win. I think the entire team was supportive, and the positive result against the Orlando Magic was the most important”. On the Magic side, Paolo Banchero stood out with 27 points and 12 rebounds, while Franz Wagner contributed 25 points. However, these efforts were not enough to avoid defeat.
