It’s as if the superstar knows that the Warriors will have a slow night, and he needs to go the extra mile for the win.

Stephen Curry wins hearts as he helps Warriors make an incredible comeback

Last season, the Golden State Warriors might not have made it to the playoffs but we saw some unbelievable performances from Steph. Everyone knew that if he had the supporting cast he needs, the Warriors could once again, be the insurmountable team of the Western Conference.

So this offseason, when Klay Thompson‘s return was announced, fans were thrilled. Little did they know that there was already a player named Jordan Poole, waiting to bloom and become the much-needed third pillar of the team along with Curry and Draymond Green. But on nights like this, when neither Poole nor anyone else is able to perform, Stephen Curry made sure to take care of business.

What’s worse is that this is them without the other Splash Brother in the picture. Imagine what they could pull off once he does return? The Dubs are playing the Minnesota Timberwolves next, and are most likely to bag that win as well.
