Stephen Curry - English
Golden State Warriors started the NBA Playoffs in the best way: they achieved an important victory over Houston Rockets by 95-85 at the Toyota Center.
Stephen Curry stole the show in the Warriors’ first Playoffs game. He grabbed 6 rebounds, gave three assists, made 5 three-pointers and scored 31 points. And Jimmy Butler‘s performance also stood out with 25 points, seven rebounds, six assists and five steals. Yes, together they scored more than 50% of the total points.
Ayesha and Riley Curry show how to support an NBA star in style
This did not go unnoticed by the fans and much less by the team. Using their social networks, the official Golden State Warriors account sent a strong message: “One down. Three to go.”
Thus, they made it clear that they hope to repeat the victory in the coming dates and that this was just the beginning.
The Warriors’ secret formula
Golden State came from failing to qualify for the NBA Playoffs last year. This season, the team managed to make a leap and clinch the berth and, in part, it is thanks to the Curry-Bulter duo.
The addition of Jimmy Butler on February 5 could be seen as strategic and has already begun to pay off.
As we mentioned, Steph at 37 years old continues to give us shows of great caliber. And age is not an impediment since Butler, at 35, forms an explosive duo with Curry. Since his arrival, he and Steph have achieved an unmatched chemistry and quickly adapted to the system proposed by Steve Kerr.

As a result, the team is selecting East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. with the 76th overall pick in the third round to stop the fall for what might be a first-round talent. Revel totaled 17 passes defended and three interceptions in his last 15 college starts, but an ACL injury in practice following the Pirates' third game of the 2024 season ended his college career.The Cowboys likely felt comfortable drafting Revel because head team doctor Dr. Daniel E. Cooper did his surgery and sent a letter to NFL teams to tell them he was on pace to be fully cleared in the summer. He has great traits, standing at 6-foot-2 while weighing 194 pounds with a […]

How far will Shedeur Sanders fall in NFL Draft? Colorado QB still available in Round 3 as Steelers pass on him
Getty Images Shedeur Sanders may believe he's the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class, but NFL teams apparently feel otherwise. After going unselected in the first round on Thursday night, Sanders was also completely overlooked in Round 2, when Louisville's Tyler Shough became the next quarterback to come off the board. He's now slid deep into the third round, even past the quarterback-needy Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 83 overall.His dramatic tumble comes hours after CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones indicated there wasn't necessarily a strong market for the Colorado signal-caller at the top of Round 2, despite several quarterback-needy teams like the Cleveland Browns owning picks to kick off Day 2. The Steelers, who passed on Sanders in the first round at No. 21 overall, had another chance to secure the passer at No. 83, only to select […]
