Steph, Warriors ‘vibing’ after beating Wizards to move to 6-1 originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Warriors feel good about themselves seven games into the 2024-25 NBA season.
Steph Curry returned to the lineup and helped the Warriors improve to 6-1 with a 125-112 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night at Capital One Arena.
Curry, who missed the last one three games with a left ankle injuryspoke to Bonta Hill, Chris Mullin and Festus Ezeli on NBC Sports Bay Area’s “Warriors Postgame Live” right after the win.
“I feel good,” Curry said. “Our medical team, [director of sports medicine and performance] Rick Celebrini and everybody, they make sure I’m bulletproof before I come back and obviously a little restriction just to make sure.
“But it’s nice to be back out there with my guys. Like you said, they’ve been taking care of business, the last three games and in pretty solid fashion. I didn’t want to be the weak link tonight and try to come out and do my part, but we’re buzzing now.”
The Warriors entered the season hoping the revamped roster would turn sour, but anyone would be lying if they said they expected to be atop the Western Conference standings heading into a marquee showdown with the Boston Celtics (7-1) on Wednesday night at . TD Garden, followed by games in Cleveland (8-0) and Oklahoma City (6-0) to end the road trip.
“We’re trying to keep getting better,” Curry said. “We know we have a long way to go [with] three difficult games to come. But I think we’ve really established an identity defensively, how we try to move the ball offensively, create good shots, Buddy Hield playing amazing, Draymond. [Green] winning the ball. So everyone is coming in and it’s great to see.”
Curry finished with a team-high 24 points on 7-of-15 shooting from the field and 4 of 9 from 3-point range in just under 25 minutes of action.
With a gauntlet of high-profile opponents looming, Curry is thrilled to come through Monday’s game in good form.
To Boston for the vibin’ Warriors.
