Stephen Curry reignited the Warriors at a critical moment. The guard returned only days after overcoming an illness. His absence coincided with a stretch of losses that damaged the team’s confidence. Golden State needed answers urgently, and it found them in its 37-year-old star. Curry responded with explosive numbers, delivering 46 points against the Spurs. He followed that with 49 more against the same opponent in a quick rematch.
In the next game, against New Orleans, the rhythm dropped. Curry scored only 9 points on 18.2% shooting. The performance surprised everyone. However, he recovered his form in the following matchup. He finished with 34 must-have points on a night when Golden State needed leadership, and he delivered. Jalen Suggs defended him for most of the game. The Orlando guard took on the assignment from the start.
A spectacular performance
According to Firstsportz, on a key possession, Curry received the ball and drove left. Suggs stayed tight on him. He recognized the move coming and knew the four-time champion would look for a step-back three. Curry executed that exact move. Suggs jumped to contest the shot but couldn’t alter it. He pulled both hands back at the last second to avoid contact. He didn’t want a whistle that could favor the veteran.

The ball dropped instantly, a clean and perfect three. Curry turned and stared at Suggs. Then he mimicked the Orlando guard’s defensive gesture. He moved his hands as if he were scared.
In reality, it was a celebration that confused the commentators. They first thought it was an instinctive reaction, but later understood he was trolling his defender. The moment sparked laughter and debate.
The play symbolized a competitive rebirth in which Curry showed confidence. He regained his aggression and sent a message to the entire roster. His leadership remains intact. Even on difficult nights, he finds ways to make an impact. The sequence against Suggs could boost the team’s morale. The Warriors need stability, and Curry appears ready to carry that burden.
