Stephen Curry Leads the Charge
Stephen Curry once again led the Warriors' offensive charge, dropping 34 points on an efficient 12-for-21 shooting from the field, including 6-for-12 from three-point range.

Klay Thompson's Crucial Contributions
Klay Thompson continued his resurgence, adding 25 points to the Warriors' total, including a crucial three-pointer with under a minute remaining that effectively sealed the victory.
