Steph Curry stats tonight: Warriors superstar shines but Golden State loses to Jazz in 1st game after Jimmy Butler acquisition (Feb. 5)

Steph Curry now has a new star teammate in Jimmy Butler, who was acquired by the Golden State Warriors in a multi-team trade that sent Andrew Wiggins to the Miami Heat. However, the focus on basketball took center stage when the Warriors faced the Utah Jazz, who facilitated the trade, on Wednesday.

The Jazz made clutch points on both ends of the floor to secure a 131-128 victory.

Curry struggled in the opening quarter, missing six shots and scoring just four points, along with two turnovers, as the Jazz led 28-25 after one. Jordan Clarkson contributed nine points, and John Collins added eight for Utah.

In the second quarter, Curry found his rhythm, scoring eight points to help the Warriors push ahead. Golden State outscored Utah by five, taking a 58-56 lead into halftime.

By the break, Brandin Podziemski led the Warriors with 17 points, while Curry contributed 12. For the Jazz, John Collins and Keyonte George led the way with 12 and 11 points, respectively.

In the second half, Curry added 20 points in a closely contested game.

In the fourth quarter, Curry hit a jumper and a layup to give the Warriors a 126-122 lead, but Jordan Clarkson made two free throws, pulling the Jazz back to a one-possession game.

The Warriors ran a two-man game with Curry and Draymond Green, and Curry found Green wide open in the paint. However, Walker Kessler came up with a timely block, leading to a Keyonte George 3-pointer that gave Utah a 127-126 lead.

Free throws followed at both ends, with the Jazz holding on for the win after a late turnover by the Warriors.

Jimmy Butler's arrival gives Steph Curry a new star teammate in Golden State

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Jimmy Butler is joining the Golden State Warriors after a lengthy two-month saga with the Miami Heat.

As part of the deal, Butler will forgo his $52 million player option for next season and is expected to sign a new two-year, $121 million contract that will run through the 2026-27 season.

This offseason, Curry signed a $62.6 million extension, securing his spot with the Warriors through the 2026-27 season, unless the team decides to trade him.

The two stars’ contracts align with each other.

As reported by ESPN, the Warriors sent forwards Andrew Wiggins and Kyle Anderson, along with a top-10 protected 2025 first-round pick, to the Heat. They also sent Lindy Waters III to Detroit and Dennis Schroder to Utah.
