"Warriors star Stephen Curry's Friday night in San Antonio started in a pair of Kobe 6's, which the new sneaker free agent wore during pregame warmups to signal to the apparel world that he was open for business. "New beginnings," he said."
"But Curry's Friday night ended in his familiar shoes and back in a familiar place, toeing the free throw line with the game on the line and a road arena roaring in his ear. Swish. Swish. Curry made both, capping a 49-point night to rally the Warriors to a 109-108 survival win over the Spurs."
"Trailing by one and pushing it in transition, Curry baited De'Aaron Fox into a reach-in foul with 6.4 seconds left. As he dramatically circled back toward the line, the opposing star of the night, Victor Wembanyama, turned to a louder section of the Spurs' crowd and implored them to get animated and possibly spook Curry into a miss."
Stephen Curry began the night wearing Kobe 6s during pregame warmups to signal sneaker free agency. He finished the game in his usual shoes and hit two decisive free throws, completing a 49-point performance that rallied the Warriors to a 109-108 win over the Spurs. Curry baited De'Aaron Fox into a reach-in foul with 6.4 seconds left, mocked Victor Wembanyama and the crowd between attempts, and sank both shots. Steve Kerr said he expected Curry to make the free throws. Curry scored 46 points in San Antonio three nights earlier and is 66 of 70 from the line this season, placing him on track to lead the league in free-throw percentage for a sixth time and recording his 43rd 40-plus game since turning 30, one shy of Michael Jordan's mark.
