In a new gala duel between LeBron James and Stephen Curry, it is the warriors leader who came out victorious this Thursday (123-116). Author of 37 points, he was therefore logically questioned after the match and did not hide his amazement.
In a six -game evening, almost everyone had eyes only for the last poster prepared by the NBA. It must be said that the confrontation between Warriors and Lakers promised a hell of a show, as its result could influence the classification of the Western Conference and the end of the season. And who says match at stakes, necessarily says big performances from Stephen Curry and LeBron James.

While LeBron (33 points, 9 assists) did his best to fill the delay of the scores, Curry (37 points, 6 assists) ensured that he maintains the advance of his team on the other side of the field. Results, the two veterans offered fans a new anthology duel won by the Warriors (123-116) and the intensity worthy of the playoffs. Steph himself recognized him at the microphone of TNT :
Stephen Curry : One has the impression that the playoffs have already started. We had aims to raise our level of play in order to prepare possible series of playoffs and because we know that all the matches count at this stage of the season. And the intensity of this match was crazy! This is what we love, having a good reason to play basketball. It's something special.
Inevitably satisfied by the performance of his team in this tense context, the chef took the time to greet the contribution of several of his teammates. Starting with that of Jimmy Butler, precious despite a line of modest stats (11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 interceptions):
Stephen Curry : He does not need to recall who he is to anyone, nor what he has already accomplished.
When you know your spirit of competitor and its omnipresence … it is not necessary to look at the scoring box to know that it does things well, like Draymond (Green). It is always in the right place at the right time. When you need him to score, create the game or defend, he can do it. And it is for all these reasons that we play very well since he arrived in our team.
BP (Brandin Podziemski) was also incredible tonight and really responded in the first half. Moses (Moody) brought us good minutes, JK (Jonathan Kuminga) too when he came out of injury … so you have to put Jimmy forward, but also all the others. And we need everyone to win.
A unifying speech before a new decisive shock against Denver this Friday.
Even at 37 and 40 years old, Stephen Curry and LeBron James continue to get fooled on the NBA prosecution. Their confrontation of this Thursday should also push many fans to hope that they find themselves in a few days in the playoffs.
