Curry delivers again
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 29 - 02 - 2016

Stephen Curry keeps finding new ways to come up with game-winning daggers, nailing a three pointer in the dying seconds to lift Golden State to a 121-118 overtime win over Oklahoma City.
Curry not only hit a 32-foot three pointer with six tenths of a second left Saturday night but also tied an NBA single game record shared by Donyell Marshall and Kobe Bryant with 12 three pointers.
"I got a good rhythm dribbling up and found a good spot to take off from," Curry said. "I had confidence all night. Thankfully that last one went in when we had a chance to win the game."
The records just keep coming as Curry's 12th three pushed his total to 288, breaking his own single-season record of 286 with 24 games to play.
Curry finished 12-of-16 from three-point range as the Warriors secured a playoff spot for the fourth straight season.
Curry, who tweaked an ankle in the third quarter, tallied 46 points and guard Klay Thompson added 32 for the Warriors who improved to 53-5.
Forward Kevin Durant had 37 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Thunder. Guard Russell Westbrook tallied 30 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds.
The Thunder scored five quick points to start overtime, but four straight points from Curry got the Warriors to within one.
Both teams kept finding ways to answer. Westbrook set up Andre Roberson for a layup. Then Golden State's Thompson drove hard and scored on a three-point play to tie the score 118-118 with 29 seconds left.
Westbrook missed a jump shot, setting the stage for Curry to hit another heroic winner.
Spurs 104, Rockets 94: Forward Kahwi Leonard scored 27 points while his frontcourt counterpart LaMarcus Aldridge chipped in a double-double as the San Antonio Spurs capped their annual "Rodeo Road Trip" with a 104-94 win over the Houston Rockets Saturday night at Toyota Center.
The Spurs (50-9) became the second team to reach 50 wins by capping a 7-1 road trip, their lone loss coming at the Los Angeles Clippers in their first game following the All-Star Game. San Antonio led wire-to-wire, blitzing the Rockets (29-30) with 66.7 percent shooting in the first quarter.
Celtics 101, Heat 89: Marcus Smart scored eight of his team-high 15 points in the fourth quarter to power the Boston Celtics to their 10th consecutive home victory with a 101-89 win over the Miami Heat in a Saturday matinee at TD Garden.
Timberwolves 112, Pelicans 110: Guard Andrew Wiggins drew a blocking foul against Eric Gordon and hit two free throws with 3.6 seconds left to lift the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 112-110 comeback victory over the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night at the Smoothie King Center.
In earning only their ninth road victory of the season, the Timberwolves (19-40) were led by center Karl-Anthony Towns with 30 points and 15 rebounds, guard Zach LaVine with 25 points and Wiggins with 20.
Trail Blazers 103, Bulls 95: Led by 31 points from guard Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Chicago Bulls 103-95 on Saturday night at the United Center.
Lillard was among four players who scored in double-figures for Portland (31-28), including Mason Plumlee (16 points), Allen Crabbe (11 points) and Gerald Henderson (13 points).
Pistons 102, Bucks 91: A 26-point effort from shooting guard Khris Middleton wasn't enough for the Milwaukee Bucks, who fell 102-91 to the Detroit Pistons at the Bradley Center.
Middleton hit 11 of 20 shots with a pair of 3-pointers and centers Miles Plumlee and Greg Monroe scored 10 points each for the Bucks, who shot 48 percent from the field and made 6 of 11 3-pointers but gave up 23 points on 21 turnovers.
Other results: Suns 111, Grizzlies 106; Nets 98, Jazz 96.
