The Golden State Warriors scored a win on Friday and beat the Chicago Bulls 140-131.
During that game, Stephen Curry scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists.
As noted by WarriorsMuse, it was the sixth time this season that Curry has scored at least half of his total points in the fourth quarter, or overtime, alone.
The Warriors are now 5-1 in those games.
Make that six. https://t.co/rF50U0VVWq

Curry put up 15 of his 27 in the final 12 minutes of the game.
It was impressive to see and also very welcome, considering Curry didn’t score a single point during the opening quarter.
Curry has averaged 26.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game in 2023–24 but has had his share of bad games.
Perhaps it has been the weight of carrying the team or age catching up with him or just bad luck, but Curry has scored only single digits a few times this year.
Still, he is the best player on the team and a very important part of any success they can find.
Now that the Warriors have ended their two-game losing streak, they are hoping to score a few more wins in the days ahead.
They will next square off against the Milwaukee Bucks before they take on the Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz, and Dallas Mavericks.
Curry will keep trying to put up strong numbers and he will have more help soon.
Draymond Green is set to return to his team in just a matter of days and he could finally make a positive difference for the Warriors.
Curry has always been a world-class athlete who does whatever it takes to win.
His excellent fourth quarter on Friday night was an example of that.
