"He sparked a third-quarter comeback that saw the teams tied at 94 after 36 minutes. Then he took over the fourth quarter, tying the game with a little over a minute left with a 3-pointer he punctuated by shimmying in front of a crazed Chase Center crowd, and then again with 21 seconds remaining on a deep triple from the logo to tie things at 120."
"Kerr finished the game with Curry, Horford, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and Kuminga. Curry and Al Horford each made 3-pointers, and then Jonathan Kuminga euro-stepped his way to the rim after a steal to lead 128-125 with 2:39 remaining in overtime. Curry punctuated the night with a coast-to-coast layup to put the Warriors up by eight, followed by his signature night-night celebration with under a minute left."
"the Warriors were defensively inept in the first half. Be it a 2-3 zone or a porous man-to-man, whether they run a double-big lineup with Al Horford and Draymond Green, or try to play small with Jimmy Butler at the power forward, it made no difference. Denver led 70-61 at halftime, shooting 60% from inside the arc, and 50% from outside of it. And yet, somehow, the Warriors were tied at 94 after a 33-point third quarter."
Steph Curry scored 42 points, with 35 in the second half, sparking a comeback and delivering multiple deep three-pointers to tie the game in regulation and dominate overtime. The Warriors trailed at halftime after giving up 70 points, with Denver shooting 60% inside and 50% from distance, and showed defensive lapses in various formations. Golden State rallied with a 33-point third quarter to level the game at 94. In overtime, contributions from Al Horford and Jonathan Kuminga, plus a coast-to-coast layup by Curry, sealed a 137-131 victory. Jimmy Butler added 21 points; Aaron Gordon led Denver with 50.
