Stephen Curry etched his name deeper into Golden State Warriors history, becoming the first player in franchise history to record 700 career games with 20 or more points. His latest milestone came in a commanding 132-108 victory over the Sacramento Kings, lifting the Warriors to ninth in the Western Conference standings.

Curry finished with 20 points, but it was a team effort that fueled Golden State’s dominant performance. Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody combined for 43 points, while Buddy Hield added 22. The Warriors’ balanced attack overwhelmed Sacramento, who slipped below their rivals in the standings.

In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers delivered a statement 142-106 victory over the New York Knicks, reinforcing their playoff credentials. Milwaukee Bucks edged the Washington Wizards 104-101, with Brook Lopez grabbing 18 points and nine rebounds.
