It’s hard to know what Steph Curry has been doing during halftime this season. Maybe he’s snacking on popcorn. Maybe he’s firing himself up by reading internet comments. Maybe Steph is getting pep talks over FaceTime from Natalie Nakase. Regardless…
The Golden State Warriors earned their sixth consecutive win by defeating the Miami Heat 120-100 on Thursday night. After entering halftime tied, Golden State outscored Miami 38-23 in the third quarter behind Steph Curry, who scored 14 of his game-high 29 points in the period. The Warriors held Miami's frontcourt in check after the break, limiting Giannis Antetokounmpo to four points and four rebounds in the second half.
Golden State's bench outscored and outrebounded Miami's reserves, receiving strong contributions from rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, who recorded 17 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Former Warriors Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins struggled for the Heat, combining for just 13 points on 4-of-16 shooting. Antetokounmpo finished with 20 points and 14 rebounds, while Bam Adebayo added 18 points and 10 rebounds for Miami.
