“Stephen Curry’s All-Star Brilliance Extends: Golden State Warriors Dominate Lakers on Home Court, Making History with 6,000 Assists”
Fresh off the NBA All-Star game in 2024, Stephen Curry elevated his success to new heights by leading the Golden State Warriors to a decisive victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on their home turf.
Renowned for his remarkable long-range shooting, Curry has consistently set and broken records in scoring. Yet, beyond his scoring prowess, the Golden State Warriors’ star player is also a playmaking point guard, adept at creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. This multifaceted skill set was on full display during the destruction of the Los Angeles Lakers on the morning of February 23, marking a significant milestone in his career as he surpassed 6,000 assists. His teammates from the Warriors played a crucial role in achieving this remarkable feat.
At the conclusion of the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers on February 23, Stephen Curry showed his joy by celebrating. After scoring 32 points with 12-24 field goals, 6 3-pointers, 3 steals, and 8 assists in 32 minutes of play, Stephen Curry became the first player in the history of the Golden State Warriors to reach 6,000 assists in the regular season. All of these accomplishments were accomplished by Curry.Among the eight assists that the “chef” provided against the Los Angeles Lakers, the one that stood out the most was the one-touch, behind-the-back pass that was made to Andrew Wiggins without looking back. It was far more important to Curry to rejoice with Draymond Green than with Wiggins.As a result of surpassing the aforementioned assist milestone, Stephen Curry became the eighth player in the history of the National Basketball Association to have earned at least 23,000 points and 6,000 assists.The famous Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, John Havlicek, and the three players who are presently active in the game, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden, are among the seven names that have accomplished this feat in the past.
On the other side of the front line, the Los Angeles Lakers were once again in a position to chase, but they were unable to recreate the comeback that they had completed in the previous game. Under those circumstances, LeBron James and his colleagues were able to overcome a 15-point deficit and emerge victorious with a score of 145-144 after two overtime periods.With LeBron James out due to an ankle injury, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a defeat of 128-110. After leading by 17 points in the third quarter, they “raised the white flag” in the middle of the fourth quarter in order to avoid having to play consecutive games the next morning. This was done in order to avoid the core team having to play back-to-back games.
Anthony Davis tried, but not enough to help the Lakers win the game without LeBron James.Anthony Davis led the Los Angeles team with 27 points (11-19 from the field), 15 rebounds, and three blocks. A good showing, but not enough to keep the Lakers’ three-game winning streak intact.This result brought the Golden State Warriors (10th, 28-26) closer to the Los Angeles Lakers (9th, 30-27) in the West. The two teams will also play twice during the regular season, on March 17 and April 10, respectively.
