Los Warriors se impusieron a domicilio a los Grizzlies (125-134) arrebatándoles la quinta posición de la Conferencia Oeste en una noche antológica (una más) de Stephen Curry, que a sus 37 años sigue demostrando noche tras noche que nos encontramos, por si alguien tenía dudas, ante el mejor tirador del mundo de todos los tiempos.
Stephen Curry lanza un triple delante de Zach Edey.
Su exhibición fue de las que hacen época tras firmar 52 puntos (4/11 t2, 12/20 t3 y 8/8 tl), 10 rebotes, 8 asistencias, 5 robos y un tapón en 37 minutos, con sólo dos pérdidas de balón. Igualó su mejor marca de la temporada con esos 12 triples en el decimoquinto partido de su carrera en el que anota 50 puntos o más, deshaciendo el empate con LeBron James, que acumulaba 14 en la suya.
Más partidos con 50 puntos con más de 35 años
La estrella de los Warriors se consolidó como el jugador de la NBA que ha firmado más partidos de 50 o más puntos después de haber cumplido 35 años (4), siendo cinco si contamos los playoffs, por delante también de LeBron (2). Ambos son los únicos de la historia que tienen más de un encuentro con al menos 50 puntos a esa edad.
Fue el vigésimo séptimo partido de su carrera en el que Curry anota 10 o más triples, en una clasificación que domina con puño de hierro por delante de su excompañero Klay Thompson (9). Los espectadores que abarrotaban el FedExForum de Memphis apenas tuvieron tiempo de sentarse en sus butacas para darse cuenta de que iban a presenciar una actuación histórica, pues Steph anotó sus primeros cinco tiros sin fallo, incluidos cuatro triples.
Tiene 37 años. Simplemente increíble. Cincuenta y dos puntos con la gente encima todo el partido. Su preparación física, su habilidad, su audacia, su fe… es increíble ver a Steph en acción
Al descanso ya llevaba 32 puntos y había dejado boquiabierto al personal, incluido su entrenador, Steve Kerr, que en el último triple de su pupilo en el segundo cuarto se giró y negó con la cabeza incrédulo. No daba crédito a lo que estaba viendo, y eso que le conoce mejor que nadie. “Tiene 37 años. Simplemente increíble. Cincuenta y dos puntos con la gente encima todo el partido. Su preparación física, su habilidad, su audacia, su fe… es increíble ver a Steph en acción”, dijo Kerr tras el partido.
Stephen Curry lanza a canasta entre Ja Morant y Zach Edey.
Curry no estuvo solo, contó con la inestimable ayuda de Jimmy Butler, autor de 27 puntos (12/12 tiros libres), 6 rebotes, 4 asistencias y 3 robos. Desde que los Warriors le ficharon, su balance junto a Curry es de 18-2, consolidándose como una de las grandes alianzas de la NBA. Y Draymond Green, con un triple-doble (13+10+12 asistencias+2 robos+1 tapón) fue el tercer pilar sobre el que Golden State edificó su triunfo.
Un buen Ja Morant no basta en los Grizzlies
Poco pudieron hacer ante el huracán Curry unos Grizzlies que marchan en caída libre y que llegaron a ser segundos del Oeste entre el 2 y el 19 de febrero. Ja Morant tiró del carro de su equipo como acostumbra, con 36 puntos (9/14 t2, 5/8 t3 y 3/3 tl), 3 rebotes, 6 asistencias y 2 robos. Mantuvo a su equipo con opciones hasta falta de dos minutos para el final (122-124), pero no pudo evitar la derrota y el sorpasso.
Stephen Curry y Desmond Bane se encararon en un momento del partido.
Morant tuvo la ayuda de Jaren Jackson Jr. (22+7 con 7/20 tc), Desmond Bane (19+4+5), Zach Edey (10+16+4 tapones) y del suplente Santi Aldama, autor de 18 puntos (2/5 t2, 4/6 t3 y 2/3 tl), 6 rebotes, una asistencia y un robo en 30 minutos. El español anotó un triple que daba esperanzas a los suyos a 1.55 del final (122-124), pero el eterno Curry se encargó de desvanecerlas.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride. To describe this as a David vs. Goliath-type game would be a misnomer, though, Gotham have been inconsistent, but they won the Championship just two years ago and boast an MVP nominee in Esther Gonzalez.While Gonzalez and new Gotham recruict Jaedyn Shaw headline Juan Carlos Amoros' team, the attention will also […]
Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
