The Golden State Warriors haven’t been at their best in the 2023-24 NBA season.
If anything, the Warriors aren’t playing like a playoff team so far in the season.
Despite the team’s struggles, Stephen Curry has been the one silver lining about the Golden State Warriors in this campaign.
Although Curry’s numbers aren’t producing the desired results for the franchise, he is still having a historic season.
Speaking of which, the two-time NBA MVP is currently leading the league in scoring the most points during the final two minutes of the fourth quarter or OT when a game is within five points, as revealed via Extra StatMuse on Twitter.

Throughout his time in the NBA, Stephen Curry has been criticized by most for lacking the clutch gene.
However, this stat proves that Curry has been incredibly clutch during the final moments of a game in the 2023-24 NBA season.
Curry leads the list with 27 points to his name, while Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren ranks second on the list with 25 points, tied with the Chicago Bulls’ DeMar DeRozan.
Sure, the Warriors are just 10-12 this season as they hold the 11th seed in the Western Conference, but it’s not due to Curry’s fault.
The four-time NBA champion is averaging 29.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game for the Dubs.
He is also shooting 47.6% from the field and 43.2% from the three-point line.
Can Stephen Curry still help the Golden State Warriors turn their season around over the next few months? Well, fans will find out soon.
