But how does he do it? Stephen Curry performs gestures that no one can do, like his pre-match ritual. A shot leaving the locker room towards the opposite basket, totally impossible. Not for him. Friday evening, he distinguished himself again by making this shot before the meeting between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves. “Chef Curry” did not fail to celebrate him to the delight of the fans already present in the Chase Center.
The 37-year-old leader, record holder for the number of three-point baskets scored in the NBA (4,139), could not have better marked his return after having been absent due to injury since the end of November. Behind, he produced a high-class performance with 39 points (14/28 shooting, including 6/15 three-pointers), 5 rebounds and 5 assists. However, this was not enough to allow the Californian franchise to win. She lost to the Wolves (120-127), although deprived of Anthony Edwards, but carried by a huge Rudy Gobert (24 points at 11/13, 14 rebounds).
