For the second time in his NBA career, Stephen Curry scored 60 points, but the Golden State Warriors fell short against the Atlanta Hawks 141-134 in overtime.
on 4.6 seconds remaining in regulation time, Dejounte Murray of the Hawks tied the score at 123-123 on a field goal from 14 feet.
Curry scored eight baskets in overtime, but it was in vain. Curry finished with 62 points against the Portland Trail Blazers in 2021.
LeBron James, meanwhile, led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 113-105 victory over the New York Knicks with 24 points.
James created a social media hourglass on January 31 to fuel rumors that he would be dealt with before this Thursday’s deadline.
Due to an ankle injury, the 39-year-old missed a game against the Boston Celtics. Later, his agent informed ESPN External that his client would not be dealt and that “we aren’t asking to be” traded.
James made his comeback to the court against the Knicks, who lost to the Lakers, who outscored them 33-19 in the fourth quarter, snapping their nine-game winning streak.
James remarked, “We just increased the intensity of our defense.” “We were really on point and on time with our doubles, with our hits, with our rotations.”
