This time coach Cole learned the lessons of the previous two away losses to the Mavericks and the Spurs, and replaced Curry on the court more than seven minutes in advance, and Curry lived up to expectations and continued to maintain the excellent feel before. In the end, under the leadership of Curry, the Warriors defeated their opponents hard at home, won the league's two consecutive victories, and continued to secure their ranking in the top eight in the Western Conference.

In this game, Curry continued to feel hot since February, making 14 of 26 shots, scoring 40 points and hit ten three-pointers. According to statistics, this is the 17th time Curry has scored 10+ three-pointers in a single game in his career, which is more than other players ranked second to sixth combined.
Since entering February, Curry has continued his explosive competitive state.

The overall performance of the Warriors' bench in this game is to pull the hips. In addition to Mulder, the performance of Wanamaker, Lee, Pascal and other players is relatively sluggish today. In fact, in the previous Texas away trip, the Warriors' two unsuccessful losses were related to the relative lack of substitutes. In those two games, Curry scored 57 and 32 points respectively, but because the last minute details were not done well, he was finally defeated. The Mavericks and the Spurs were also the Warriors competing for the playoffs this season. The biggest competitor.
At the beginning of the season, Curry was in a relatively sluggish state, especially his good three-pointers once fell below 30%. But as one of the greatest shooters in the NBA, wanting to guard Curry's three-pointers throughout the season is simply a fantasy. After using 20 games to bring the three-pointer percentage back to above 40%, Curry’s three-pointer percentage has now reached 43.5%, ranking 27th in the league; and he hit the tree and the field. The average number of hits ranked first in the league, and he is also sprinting at full speed, hitting the historical record of 2,973 three-pointers held by Ray Allen.
At the end of the game, Curry made 2,626 three-pointers, continuing to rank second in the NBA history list, 347 short of the first Ray Allen. Originally, according to Curry’s normal three-pointer scoring speed, it will probably take until the end of next season for him to surpass Ray Allen. Now Curry, who has let go, has increased his average of three-pointers to 5 per game, and continues at this speed. , Probably by the middle of next season, Curry will break Ray Allen's record and enjoy the strong first. However, relative to the record of three-pointers, what Curry hopes most is to lead the team to the playoffs. After all, Curry's efficiency this season has surpassed the 2015-2016 season's unanimous MVP season. If he can't lead the team to the playoffs, all this is futile.
