Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry continued his winning streak, scoring 28 points and adding nine assists as the team beat the New York Knicks 114-102 on Tuesday night. The win marked a personal record of 12-1 for Curry at Madison Square Garden.
Joining Curry in double digits were Jimmy Butler and Brandin Podziemski with 19 points each. Draymond Green had eight points, nine rebounds, and eight assists, celebrating his 35th birthday.
The Knicks were without star center Karl-Anthony Towns, who was out due to personal reasons. Without Towns’ inside presence, the team struggled from beyond the arc, going just 8-for-33 (24%) in three-point attempts. Mitchell Robinson started at center but played only 15 minutes after returning from ankle surgery.
The Warriors took a commanding lead with an 11-0 run, scoring without any Knicks baskets for four minutes, and never looked back. The team improved to 3-1 on their five-game trip. Curry played through right ankle soreness, logging 33 minutes, while the Warriors head to Brooklyn on Thursday.
