Warriors Shock the Knicks at the Garden!
Okay, so you know how sometimes a game just feels… electric? That was definitely the case last Saturday, March 4th, 2025, when the Golden State Warriors took on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The final score? 114-102, Warriors. A hard-fought win, let me tell you.
Steph Curry's Almost-Triple-Double
Steph Curry? He was ON FIRE. Seriously, the guy was incredible. He almost had a triple-double, finishing with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists. His three-pointers were money, especially that clutch 25-footer late in the fourth. It wasn't just the points though; his playmaking was phenomenal, and even his defense was on point. He’s just… unbelievable.
It Wasn't Just Steph, Though
While Steph stole the show, it was a total team effort. Gui Santos hit a HUGE three-pointer that sparked an 11-0 run – that was a total game-changer! Jimmy Butler III chipped in 19 points, and his free throws were clutch. And can we talk about Draymond Green? The man celebrated his 35th birthday with 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. He’s still a defensive force, and his court vision is incredible. Brandin Podziemski also put up 19 points, and Moses Moody? Let's just say he played some incredible defense.
The Knicks Fought Hard
Now, before you think this was a total blowout, the Knicks really put up a fight. OG Anunoby led their charge with 29 points, and Jalen Brunson had 25 points and 7 assists. But honestly, their three-point shooting was just off. The Warriors? They were on fire from beyond the arc – 39-24. That difference was huge.
Playoff Implications: Big Win for Golden State
This win is massive for the Warriors' playoff hopes. Since they got Jimmy Butler, they've been a completely different team – nine wins in their last eleven games. Beating a strong Eastern Conference team like the Knicks? That's a statement win. Coach Kerr has been talking about their newfound identity, and you can see the change. They’re heading into the final stretch of the season with some serious momentum.
Moses Moody's Defensive Masterclass Against Brunson
Okay, I have to give a shout-out to Moses Moody. His defense on Jalen Brunson was exceptional. He used some really smart defensive strategies to really limit Brunson's effectiveness. It wasn’t just about stats; you could see the impact he had on the game. That kid's a future star.
All in all, the Warriors' victory was a testament to their improved teamwork and individual brilliance. With a favorable schedule ahead, they're looking really good for a high playoff seed. This was a fun one to watch!
