Curry Leads Warriors Past Mavericks 120-117

The Golden State Warriors have demonstrated their potential this season, currently holding a 9-2 record, thanks in part to Stephen Curry's stellar performance. In a thrilling game against the Dallas Mavericks, Curry scored 37 points, including the final 12, leading the Warriors to a 120-117 victory while overshadowing Klay Thompson's emotional return to the Bay Area. Thompson, who scored 22 points, received a warm welcome but could not match Curry's late-game heroics. The Warriors' roster adjustments seem to be paying off, complementing Curry's abilities as he continues to excel at age 36. The victory also marked the Warriors' first win in the NBA Cup group stage, setting a positive tone for their season. Meanwhile, Joel Embiid's return was less successful, as the Philadelphia 76ers fell to the New York Knicks, with Embiid struggling in his first game of the season.
