Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:04:34 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors were down eight points and on the verge of dropping their fourth straight game with about two minutes left in regulation Saturday night. But Stephen Curry did everything in his power to ensure that wouldn’t happen. Curry scored 13 of his game-high 36 points in the fourth and blocked a Bucks’ shot to force overtime, where he scored another nine points to lead the Warriors to a 125-116 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry knocked down a trio of 3s and made a breakaway finger-roll layup over the last two minutes of regulation to tie the game at 111. As the game clock wound down, Curry denied Jrue Holiday’s layup attempt to put the ball in the Warriors’ hands with 1.9 seconds left. After a timeout, what would’ve been a go-ahead 3-pointer by Draymond Green rimmed out at the buzzer, sending the game into overtime. Curry scored another nine points in the extra period as the Warriors snapped the East-leading Bucks’ th...
