Once again, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors find themselves in a scramble to get out of the play-in scenario. Three years removed from their most recent NBA title, the Warriors are looking to secure an outright playoff spot in the 2025 postseason.
Curry and the Dubs were in action on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers in Wells Fargo Center. Golden State had its sights set on pushing its winning streak to six as the playoffs loom on the horizon. However, despite a strong effort from the two-time MVP, the Warriors lost to the Sixers 126-119.

Curry had a strong start, pouring in 12 points as the Golden State and Philly went toe-to-toe in the first quarter. He found his stroke from deep early while also scoring easy points in the paint. At halftime, Curry had 19 points on 6-for-11 shooting (3-for-7 from beyond the arc). He also had three rebounds, four assists, and one steal. Though Curry's production was solid, the Warriors trailed the Sixers 67-55 after the first 24 minutes.

Though Curry's scoring production took a step back in the second half, he found other ways to contribute to the Warriors' offense. He added nine more assists to his tally, setting up scoring opportunities for teammates like Kevon Looney, Brandin Podziemski, and Quinten Post. Despite Curry's double-double and the collective effort of his supporting crew (sans Jimmy Butler, who sat out with back spasms), the Sixers held on to secure the seven-point victory.
Curry's final stat line in this game was 29 points (5-for-12 from deep), 5 rebounds, 13 assists, and one steal.
Steph Curry extends warm gesture to mom Sonya after explosive 50-point game
On Thursday, Curry logged the 14th 50-point performance of his career. His mother Sonya, who happened to be watching live at the Kia Center on that night, got a special memento after the game.
As seen in footage posted by the Warriors' official X account, Curry tossed his game jersey to his mom as he headed back to the locker room:
Over the years, Sonya has attended numerous Warriors games in support of her son. Over three years ago, when Curry became the NBA's all-time leader in three-pointers made, she was in Madison Square Garden to give him a big hug.
