Overview
- Stephen Curry isolated Luka Dončić and on Friday night executed a crossover that sent Dončić to the floor before Curry sank the follow-up three, a play that ignited the Chase Center crowd.
- That sequence helped power the Warriors’ 25-point comeback to a 112-95 win, with Curry scoring 31 points, Brandin Podziemski adding 21, and De’Anthony Melton contributing 16 off the bench.
- ESPN statistician Anthony Slater noted the win was the largest margin of victory (17) for a team that had trailed by 25 or more since 1997–98, underscoring how rare the comeback was.
- The moment was amplified on social media when the Warriors posted slow‑motion clips, Ayesha Curry reshared team content, and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg described stunned bench reactions.
- Hours later Jimmy Butler posted an AI-generated Instagram video using Curry’s likeness and clips of the play to mock Dončić, a post that quickly went viral and extended the story beyond the game.
