Stephen Curry takes control again for the Warriors
In a first half where the Pelicans gained up to a 12-point lead, Curry return was essential to the Warriors’ comeback.
Though it wasn’t his best night (7 of 21 from the field), his ability to impact the game at critical moments, especially with his three-pointers, helped Golden State dominate the third quarter.
With a more aggressive defense and support from players like Jonathan Kuminga and Jimmy Butler, the Warriors seized control of the game and never looked back.

What does Curry return mean for the Warriors future?
For Golden State, having their leader, Stephen Curry, back on the court is not just an offensive boost, it’s an emotional game-changer.
At such a pivotal point in the season, with the team fighting to avoid the play-in tournament in the West, Curry return is a crucial shift in their dynamic.
Despite still recovering, Stephen Curry mere presence elevates his teammates’ performance and strengthens the team’s collective confidence.
As the regular season draws to a close, the Warriors face a huge opportunity, but they’ll need more from their star to solidify their position as true contenders.
Can Stephen Curry elevate his team to a new level? Only time will tell, but his return marks a pivotal moment in the Warriors’ quest to secure a direct playoff spot.
