Meanwhile, the Warriors entered the night with a 15-12 record in 27 games, which has them as the seventh seed in the Western Conference.

Curry has led the franchise to four titles since the 2015 season (most recently winning in 2022).

However, they are coming off a season where they missed the 2024 NBA playoffs.
