When your superstar point guard is down with the sniffles, most teams would panic. But not the Golden State Warriors, who are proving that depth isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a lifestyle.

Curry’s Cold Conundrum

Steph Curry, the Bay Area’s basketball darling, is battling more than just opposing teams right now. A nasty cold has him sweating, sniffling, and coughing his way through games. Coach Steve Kerr made the executive decision to bench Curry for the Kings game, prioritizing rest over heroics.

Bench Squad to the Rescue

Enter Moses Moody, the Warriors’ secret weapon who turned potential disaster into a highlight reel. Scoring a season-high 24 points, Moody didn’t just fill in, he straight-up dominated. His performance screams “next man up” energy, going 7 of 11 from the field and 5 of 8 on three-pointers.

Strength in Numbers

With Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green also potentially sidelined, most teams would wave the white flag. But the Warriors? They’re doubling down on their “Strength In Numbers” philosophy. Their bench outscored the Suns’ bench by a jaw-dropping 44 points, proving that this team’s depth is more stacked than a Silicon Valley startup’s talent pool.

Because in the Bay Area, we don’t just play basketball, we innovate it.
