Steph Curry Surpasses Rajon Rondo on All-Time List as Warriors Dominate Jazz
On Friday evening, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors made history, continuing their strong start to the season with a commanding 127-86 victory over the Utah Jazz.
Curry’s performance was a pivotal part of the team’s success, contributing 20 points, three rebounds, four assists, and two steals in just 27 minutes of action. His shooting, while not as efficient as usual (7/20 from the field and 4/13 from beyond the arc), still reflected his undeniable impact on the game.
This win marked another milestone for Curry as he passed NBA legend Rajon Rondo on the all-time list of assists, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest point guards in the history of the game.
The Warriors’ 41-point blowout against the Jazz wasn’t just a statement of their dominance this season; it also highlighted their record-breaking achievement. Golden State became the first team in NBA history to win their first two games of a season by at least 35 points.
This impressive feat speaks to their lethal combination of offensive firepower and defensive tenacity. While Curry led the charge, the Warriors’ depth was on full display, with multiple players stepping up to contribute in significant ways.
For Curry, moving ahead of Rondo on the all-time list is yet another feather in his cap. While Rondo has been known for his exceptional playmaking and leadership, Curry has revolutionized the game with his shooting range and offensive creativity.
Passing Rondo in assists is a notable accomplishment for Curry, who has been primarily known for his scoring ability but has also evolved into an elite playmaker over the years.
The game was never in doubt, as the Warriors jumped out to a huge lead early on and never looked back. The Jazz struggled to keep up, with the Warriors’ defense stifling their offensive flow.
Golden State’s high-paced offense, led by Curry and fueled by the scoring of Klay Thompson, Draymond Green’s playmaking, and the overall contributions of their supporting cast, proved too much for Utah to handle.
With the win, the Warriors move to 2-0 on the season, and the team’s early-season success is a promising sign of what’s to come.
As Curry continues to break records and push his career forward, the Warriors look poised to contend for another championship, with the leadership of one of the game’s greatest players guiding them toward even greater achievements.
