Stephen Curry at the half vs. the Knicks:
– 17 points
– 10 rebounds

Warriors close the half with Curry displaying poor shot selection and Draymond with an ill-advised foul.
Those are the type of possessions that have harmed the Warriors all season. – 8:38 PM
Knicks down 55-46 to the Warriors at halftime. Still feels like it could’ve been much worse after that horrendous start. Shot just 33.3 percent in the half.
Steph Curry has 17 points and went 4-of-8 from long distance. – 8:38 PM
Curry already up to 14 points and 10 rebounds. At one time he and LeBron were the only visiting players with both a 50-point game and a triple-double at the current MSG. But nowadays anyone scores 50 or gets triple-doubles, so that may be outdated. – 8:32 PM
Jonathan Kuminga hit Jalen Brunson with the ‘too small’ 😵💫
