Stephen Curry once again proved why he’s one of the most clutch players in NBA history, sealing a thrilling 121-116 victory for the Golden State Warriors over the Memphis Grizzlies . After nearly blowing a 20-point lead, Curry took over in the final minutes, earning high praise from teammate Jimmy Butler , who compared him to a superhero.
Stephen Curry’s late-game heroics save the Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors looked in control early but saw their lead disappear in the second half as the Grizzlies fought back. That’s when Stephen Curry stepped up, hitting two crucial three-pointers in the last two minutes and sinking four free throws to ice the game. He finished with 37 points, eight rebounds, and six three-pointers, proving once again that he thrives under pressure.
Jimmy Butler, who also had a monster game, couldn’t help but marvel at Curry’s composure. “That’s a Batman if I ever seen a Batman,” Butler said. “Always coming to save the day. You’re never out of any game. More than anything, he’s just so poised, he’s so calm. He was a huge part of this victory.”
Jimmy Butler delivers another playoff-level performance
While Stephen Curry closed the game, Jimmy Butler was dominant from start to finish, living up to his “Playoff Jimmy” reputation. He dropped 38 points on 12-for-20 shooting, adding seven rebounds, six assists, and three steals. This marked his second straight 30-point game, showing he’s fully locked in as the postseason approaches.
The Golden State Warriors needed every bit of Butler’s two-way intensity, especially when the Grizzlies made their run. His scoring and playmaking kept Golden State afloat, setting the stage for Curry’s late-game takeover.
What’s next for the Warriors and Grizzlies?
With this win, the Warriors clinched the No. 7 seed and will face the Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. The matchup promises fireworks, with both teams boasting high-powered offenses and star-studded rosters.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies aren’t done yet. They’ll get one more shot at making the playoffs when they take on either the Dallas Mavericks or Sacramento Kings on Friday. Ja Morant, who had some highlight plays of his own, will look to lead Memphis to a must-win game.
