In a high-stakes showdown between the Warriors and Cavaliers, Golden State pulled off a 118-108 comeback win on the road, securing their third straight victory. According to Crickex App, the night belonged to Stephen Curry—not only for his efficient 23-point, 8-assist performance, but because he finally delivered his first dunk of the season, a moment fans had been waiting for with eager anticipation.

For those who follow the game closely, a Curry dunk is as rare as a blue moon. Over his first eight NBA seasons, he averaged just three dunks per year. With the current season already past the halfway mark, Crickex App noted that Curry had yet to notch a single slam—until this game. With 10:48 remaining in the third quarter, after a missed shot by Kevin Love, Draymond Green grabbed the rebound and triggered a fast break. Kevin Durant drove into the paint and dished a perfect pass to a cutting Curry, who soared effortlessly for a clean, two-handed dunk—his most emphatic finish in a long while.

Curry had a quiet first half, facing heavy defensive pressure from the Cavs. He took only six shots in 17 minutes but made four of them, scoring 11 points. However, that single dunk seemed to flip a switch. He quickly found rhythm with Durant, the two trading assists and knocking down key three-pointers. At the 5:05 mark of the third quarter, Curry buried one of his signature deep threes, a shot that completely changed the energy of the game.

Facing Isaiah Thomas later in the quarter, Curry used his height advantage and broke out a textbook crossover into a step-back jumper. The ball swished through, and suddenly, he had scored another 11 points in just seven minutes. With Curry firing on all cylinders, the Warriors erased a 7-point halftime deficit and surged into the lead. Even when Curry sat out, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green held the fort, extending the lead into double digits. By the time Curry checked back in, the job was nearly done. In the fourth quarter, he attempted only three shots, preserving energy and letting his teammates seal the win.

Late in the game, with just over two minutes left, Curry attempted a reverse layup but was met at the rim by LeBron James, who delivered a thunderous block—his second of the night on Curry. Another swat had come earlier at the end of the third quarter, where LeBron sent one of Curry’s layups flying. Still, as Crickex App pointed out, Curry didn’t flinch. These isolated rejections meant little in the grand scheme.

Because when the final buzzer sounded, the Warriors had once again asserted their dominance over the Cavaliers. Crickex App believes Curry’s dunk might not just be a statistical footnote—it could signal renewed confidence as the Warriors build momentum for a postseason push. Sometimes, it only takes one slam to turn the tide.
