The world champion Golden State Warriors smoked the visiting Washington Wizards, 144-122 in a game that was entertaining, and effectively over after three quarters of weaponizing joy.
Stephen Curry had a transcendent performance, lighting up the Wizards for 51 damn points, missing his career high by three points. It’s the most he’s ever scored in Oakland. The greatest point guard alive tortured Washington for 15-of-24 shooting from the field, 11-of-16 from three-point range, and made all 10 of his free throws. Kevin Durant joined in on the feeding frenzy for a merciless 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists.
