The Golden State Warriors, led by Stephen Curry‘s sharpshooting, dismantled the Memphis Grizzlies 137-116 during Wednesday’s NBA action. Curry’s achievement of 300 3-pointers for a record fifth season was highlighted in a game where teamwork and strategic defense were front and center.
“He gonna do it again next year. I’m not surprised,” Warriors guard Chris Paul said. “It’s easy for him, he shoots the life out of the ball, takes care of his body.”
Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins were significant contributors, with Kuminga scoring 26 points and Wiggins adding 22 points and 10 rebounds. Klay Thompson contributed 23 points from the bench, while Paul’s season-best 14 assists were pivotal in achieving the team’s high assist count.
“It was a fun game to watch,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

Despite strong performances from GG Jackson II and Jaren Jackson Jr., the Grizzlies could not counter the Warriors’ explosive play, extending their losing streak to four games. Santi Aldama‘s effort in the first half highlighted Memphis’s resilience, but it was not enough to overcome Golden State’s surge.
