Stephen Curry's February 2025 highlights show him breaking through double-teams with clutch three-pointers, drives, and off-ball movement. He shot 12-of-14 from three in one stretch and hit a 4-point play against teams including the Magic, Lakers, and Knicks, repeatedly shifting game momentum in the Warriors' favor.
Chapters
Defenses are guarding him, 2 defenders on him a lot of times with a double team. He's controlled his boxes a lot, step 3, and with a shot created, the shot that has to be taken. Interesting to hear the crowd go like, "Open!" It's a steal for Orlando after Warriors tied it at 35. Curry, ball reversing it up to Nance in transition. Oh! Magic or 29th in pace. Nance finding Wiggins, unable to finish, rid of it immediately. He crosses the double team, and let's see, try to stay with Stephen Curry. Stats of the week. 2 of 3 from the field. NBA team defensively. Opponent 3 started the year really good defending the 3-ball. Kinda had a little bit of a drop-off, but then Del Rey gets Steph knocked down, but the result was fantastic. DP2 on the baseline. Very passive finish there. He actually had to make a move as the defender was there, but he was ready for it. DP2 360. Will Hardy's gonna take time. Steph springs free. Perfectly executed on the bounce. And there is Manchino with the help. Came off of there with no one on him, and Steph is having a blast at his candy. Quitting post on the ball, quit consistently. Now he's getting off of it. Steph, another open 3. And he's got another rebound. Curry relocates. 3! Stop! Got it again! And he is back in the game. Everybody waiting for the defender to come off. Working a little harder this quarter here. 28-point Nets lead. It'll look like in the last few possessions, they'll have a chance to get it back. Oh! Huge strip down in the 1-minute mark. Curry turning without the ball. Curry made his debut yesterday in Salt Lake City. Curry's got his first one. Lakers 2 stands all alone for the game. JJ Redick, he comes between the feet. Has to go get it back. Stephen Curry, right side. Curry, crossover. The Knicks don't like that Curry set up, gets to the threes, and you're not shot blocking behind you, not a lot of size. There is a lot of skill, great lineup behind him. Stephen Curry, 12 out of 14. 3-pointer! 3-pointer! A 4-point play! Oh, the Warriors! He started to get in foul trouble. 15th, 30th, and 37th minutes for Stephen Curry. Had a big letdown early in the third in Chicago. Oh! Steph coming around and in to the hoop, necessitating Kolela who went to the floor. But that should have been the reverse take. That should have made him miss the point, leave the ball. And so Steve takes the timeout. Curry looking for one more score tonight. How about Steph? He's got his feet set. That's pretty nice as it drops under. And I mentioned it earlier, just getting him involved in the action. Curry for the lead! Go! Butler always kind of assessing things. Set up Steph for the layup. He doesn't have to attack early. Draymond to Butler out of the corner. And Jimmy Warrior. Sidestep, Steph, 3. Got it. Right into the basket. Make them move you. Butler, step back, and come on, Atlanta. Step, 1, 2, 3. He's been the right guy to take the shots tonight. Snap for the shot clock at 5. Step back, Curry. The rest of the way, likes to limit his minutes, but that's what he gives you right there. If you're trying to get the pieces to fit, right? That sounds pretty simple. How do you get pieces to fit? He really complements what they didn't have. The Warriors have been a high-turnover team, a little erratic. He delivered on what I believe he was able to say, "I know, Skippy." And yet he's got out of the way, but James came in and was able to do it. Maybe we were looking to see if there was a proximate foul on Green. He's developed— I'm actually surprised. I didn't know that he had it, and now we're seeing it. I think we saw last year in the regular finals, Green carrying the leadership of Kyrie Irving. How about on the other side? Is this an opportunity? And listen, you're our best player. Nobody in the world thinks what a cool deal we just did. Offensive rebound, Payton, out to Steph, lets it fly, count it! 25 for Curry! Curry, his second 3. And it's Curry hits. It's like a 5 PM go to bed rate. Made 2 in a row. Now he drives past 2 guys. Wakes up the floater. Curry, 8 to go. A little step back. You don't need to make a great move when you got a small defender on you. You got Simpson on him. You just shoot it in there. Your man's not gonna stay in between you and the basket. But he healed. He was running and he got complaining afterwards. Great defense here. Steph in, out on Diabate, and Draymond to Gary Dorr. With a 15-point lead. Jimmy Butler has a shot blocker there. That's Williams. Did not let him finish. As Corbin Williams, he doesn't like what he has. They create another lane for Steph. Steph running Podolski to make sure he got up there quick before the shot blocker could get there. Yeah!
