Curry’s 36-Point Masterclass Powers Warriors to Fifth Straight Win Over Nuggets

SAN FRANCISCO – Stephen Curry put on another show for the ages, scoring 36 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 118-104 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night. With this dominant performance, the Warriors secured their fifth consecutive win, continuing their red-hot streak in the latter half of the season.

The game was a back-and-forth affair early on, but Curry’s hot hand in the second half proved to be the difference. Alongside his scoring, Curry also dished out 7 assists, keeping the Nuggets’ defense on their toes and setting up his teammates for crucial baskets. His seamless ability to hit from all areas of the floor, including three-pointers from deep, left Denver scrambling to contain the two-time MVP.

The Warriors’ defense also stepped up, limiting Nuggets star Nikola Jokić to just 22 points and keeping Denver’s offensive rhythm in check. Klay Thompson added 19 points, and Draymond Green provided his usual all-around impact, chipping in with 8 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists.

“We just came out with great energy,” Curry said in the postgame interview. “It’s all about consistency, and we’re starting to find our rhythm. It’s a long season, but we’ve got to keep pushing forward.”

With the win, the Warriors improve to 41-30 on the season, firmly in the playoff hunt. Meanwhile, the Nuggets (45-26) remain at the top of the Western Conference but will need to bounce back quickly as they head into a tough stretch of games.
