Stephen Curry and the Warriors are determined to reclaim their dominance in the Western Conference. In a recent interview, Curry voiced strong belief in the team’s potential to go head-to-head with any opponent this season.

Curry’s leadership and confidence were on full display during Sunday’s preseason opener against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors came out sharp and set the tone early in their quest to return to elite form.

During the first quarter of the game, Curry delivered a tough reverse and-1 layup off an Al Horford assist. Following the finish, Curry turned to the camera and posed confidently, which quickly went viral.

Despite Buddy Hield missing a crucial open three-pointer, the Warriors closed the game with a 111–103 victory at Chase Center. Curry played just 15 minutes due to the preseason setting but was highly efficient. He finished with 14 points, one rebound, and two assists, shooting 5-for-7 from the field and 3-for-5 from deep.

The Warriors rotated heavily and gave floor time to 18 players. Along with Curry, Hield, Moses Moody, and Pat Spencer all contributed double-digit points in the win.

After the game, in the press conference, Stephen Curry praised Moses Moody’s development. Curry shared how Moody’s growth was evident throughout training camp and expressed optimism about his role heading into the new season.

“It’s his confidence. For a young guy, when you don’t know your minutes, that’s the biggest challenge,” Curry said.

The Warriors’ victory marks a 1–0 start to their preseason. This offseason, they strengthened their roster by adding Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, and Seth Curry, while also re-signing Jonathan Kuminga. With these adjustments, Golden State’s lineup looks ready to make the kind of strong run that Curry has been anticipating.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
