Stephen Curry’s workload makes Warriors’ six-game winning streak even sweeter

The Golden State Warriors extended their winning streak to six games with a 120-100 victory over the Miami Heat at Chase Center. Stephen Curry departed with seven minutes remaining, reflecting the team's ability to maintain success while managing the 38-year-old superstar's playing time. Over the streak, Curry has averaged 32.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.2 assists across just 30 minutes per game.

Peter O'Keefe of Blue Man Hoop writes that rookie forward Yaxel Lendeborg and the bench unit have stepped up significantly. Despite injuries to Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody, and Kristaps Porzingis, Golden State's supporting cast helped close out Miami with an 11-3 run, preserving Curry's rest ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Orlando Magic.
