The Christmas Day battle between the NBA’s top two teams did not disappoint on Saturday afternoon.
Thanks to a late and historic explosion from Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors will head back to the Bay Area with a huge win in their ninth consecutive holiday game.
The Warriors, behind 33 points from Curry, beat the Phoenix Suns 116-107 at the Footprint Center. That performance marked a career-high for the Warriors star on Christmas Day, as he’s never scored more than 20 points in his eight previous Christmas games.
“Steph was amazing,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, via SBNation’s Joe Viray.
