Despite a sluggish first half that made fans clutch their pearls, the Warriors surged back to life and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against the Knicks, winning 114-102 in Madison Square Garden. What a twist!

In an absolute nail-biter, Steph Curry led the team, surprise, surprise, with 28 points, proving yet again why he’s the king of the court. After a first half that left fans wondering if they mistakenly tuned into a game of bingo instead of basketball, the Warriors decided to spice things up in the second half, outscoring the Knicks 67-47.

Let’s talk about the first half: It was painful. Draymond Green was doing his best to secure an Anti-Player-of-the-Game award as the Warriors stumbled to only 21.7% shooting from the arc. I mean, they tossed up 23 three-pointers in the first quarter alone, making just five. Local cats probably had a better success rate!

But halftime kicked off a complete flip in the Warriors’ game plan. They ditched the three-point line like an ex on a bad date, opting instead to attack the paint. In the third quarter, Curry and crew scored 14 points in the paint, racking up 18 fast-break points in total, talk about coming alive! Curry went on to drop 14 points in the third, showcasing why this team can’t be counted out, even when they seem to be down and out.

Jimmy Butler, who must have received a PEP talk from the Universe, also lit it up in the second half, scoring 13 of his 19 points. Honestly, this game could’ve gone either way, but the Warriors did what they do best: they embraced that sweet, sweet underdog comeback narrative.

This victory puts the team at 3-1 on their current road trip, reaffirming their dominance, sorry, Knicks fans. Remember, Curry hasn’t lost a game in New York since 2014! And with each win, we lean more into the promise of greatness and slightly further away from our capitalist realities. Take that, society!

As the Warriors keep showing us, it’s not just about how you start; it’s how you finish. And tonight, they finished strong, proving once again that you should never, ever count them out.
