On Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors triumphed over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 113-103, with Stephen Curry once again being the standout player. This game signified a strong return for Curry after a lackluster performance in the previous contest, where he only tallied two points, three rebounds, and one assist in a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Curry showcased an exceptional performance, scoring 11 consecutive points during the fourth quarter. He concluded the match with 31 points, in addition to three rebounds and ten assists. The four-time NBA champion was particularly impressive from the three-point line, sinking seven of his fifteen attempts. He wrapped up the game shooting 10 of 21 from the floor and going four of five at the charity stripe.

Isiah Thomas Commends Mark Jackson for His Influence on Stephen Curry’s Growth
In a recent appearance on the show Come And Talk 2 Me, NBA legend Isiah Thomas discussed the significant role that former Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson played in Stephen Curry’s ascent in the league. Thomas emphasized how Jackson’s coaching style contributed immensely to bolstering Curry’s confidence, a key factor in his NBA success.
“Mark Jackson put that battery in Steph Curry’s back and gave him mad confidence. When Steph goes into the Hall of Fame, I hope he remembers you as the person that gave him the type of confidence he plays with today,” Thomas remarked.
Jackson was at the helm of the Warriors from 2011 to 2014, and during this period, he was pivotal in cultivating Curry into one of the sport’s most electrifying players. While the Warriors did not manage to secure any championships under Jackson’s tenure, his influence on both Curry and the team’s overall development was clearly significant.
