Warriors 3 Things: Steph Curry, Golden State are playing the beautiful game

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:56:08 GMT

These Warriors play a beautiful brand of basketball.Yes, it helps when Steph Curry is showing off his superhuman powers.But the addition of Chris Paul — while not paying full dividends yet — to a team with a clear understanding of both pace and space has created an aesthetic juggernaut.In the prescient words of Deion Sanders (and no one else): look good, play good.The Warriors played well in their season-opening loss to the Suns, and they played well again in Friday’s road debut against the Kings.Surely, there will be things to nit-pick in both contests — the Warriors nearly choking away a big, late lead Friday wasn’t ideal — but the Warriors have acquitted themselves nicely against two likely Western Conference playoff teams to start the season.And you can’t be too hard on these Dubs — they won their first road game of this season nearly a month earlier than last season.Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | Steph Curry’s 41-points fuel Warriors first win over Sac...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:56:08 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Even after spending $1 billion on players, Chelsea still cannot get a point off Brentford at Stamford Bridge.It’s now three straight Premier League wins for Brentford in away matches against Chelsea after a 2-0 victory on Saturday, secured by second-half goals from Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo.Pinnock headed in a cross from Mbeumo in the 58th minute for a goal that was against the general run of a play.Mbeumo added the second in the fifth minute of stoppage time, tapping into an empty net at the end of a fast break with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez having gone up for a corner and unable to get back in time.Chelsea also lost to its London rival last season (2-0) and the season before (4-1), which was the first year Brentford played in the Premier League.Despite its unprecedented and wild spending spree over the last three transfer windows, Chelsea is in the bottom half of the standings and is now behind Brentford, whose signings are mostly cut-price and bas...
