– After enduring aches, swarming defenses and a shooting slump, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry walked proudly through the Intuit Dome entrance tunnel. The Warriors just secured a 126-121 win over the LA Clippers on Wednesday in a Play-In tournament that at least extends their post-season hopes for two days. As a 10 th seed, the Warriors will face the No.

7 Phoenix Suns on Friday just for the right to face the NBA’s defending champions (Oklahoma City Thunder) on Sunday in a first-round series. This represents a far cry from the Warriors’ previous dominance when Curry delivered them five NBA titles in seven Finals appearances. No matter.

Curry sparked nostalgia with a dynasty-like performance to delay the franchise’s possible crossroads. He finished with 35 points while shooting 12-for-23 from the field and 7-for-12. Hence, Curry’s unleashed his emotions as he walked toward the Warriors’ locker room.
