Knicks done in again by Stephen Curry in loss to Warriors without Karl-Anthony Towns
NY Post
Add it to the list.
This one looked different. Stephen Curry didn’t erupt for 54 points at the Garden like he did in 2013. He didn’t pour in 31, either, like he did last year.
But after Mikal Bridges’ suffocating defense limited him to just eight points in the first half, Curry erupted for 14 in the third quarter and a dagger of a 3-pointer in the fourth — and the result ended up being the same.
Behind Curry’s 28 points and the Knicks offense going ice cold in crunch time, the Warriors pulled away for a 114-102 victory on Tuesday to snap the Knicks’ three-game winning streak.
OG Anunoby poured in 29 points for one of his better offensive games of the season and Jalen Brunson added 25, but without Karl-Anthony Towns (personal reasons), the Knicks faltered with only three players reaching double-digits and left for a five-game West Coast trip on a sour note.
For at least the opening 24 minutes, though, it appeared as if all the Knicks needed was Bridges on their roster to stop Curry, because with their offseason acquisition — the one who required four first-round picks and has been criticized recently during his seesawing season — swarming Curry, the Golden State superstar managed just eight points on 3-for-10 shooting.

LOS ANGELES — It started to crumble for the Knicks about halfway through the fourth quarter Tuesday night. They’d been well within striking distance for much of the game against the Warriors, even tying the score early in the final period.
