Despite Stephen Curry's remarkable 60-point performance, the Golden State Warriors were defeated by the Atlanta Hawks in overtime. This scoring feat marks the second-highest in Curry's career, showcasing his exceptional talent, particularly in actions with Draymond Green against the Hawks' bigs. However, the Hawks adjusted their defense late in the game, assigning Jalen Johnson to Green, which may have contributed to their victory. The game is being noted as one of the biggest wasted performances of Curry's career, with the defensive switch playing a pivotal role.
Steph Curry scored. And he wouldn't stop sizzling. By the time he was done he had 60 points... In an overtime loss to the Hawks. There are candidates for biggest wasted Curry performance ever. Saturday might top the list, writes @anthonyVslater. https://t.co/RSTlfFP9Au https://t.co/6nHpbZv8dO
Steph Curry scored a lot of his 60 points in actions with Draymond Green and the Hawks bigs, who got what might be good enough contests for most folks, but not Steph. Late in regulation and in OT, Hawks put Jalen Johnson on Green instead (continued in thread).
