The Warriors star scored 37 points, including 9 of 14 off the arc, seven rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and also added one block to the resume.

Kerry, who reached 35 points in less than half an hour for the fifth time in his career, the most for any player in the 3-point era and holds the highest cumulative plus-minus index in the league, with plus 195, felt the positive buzz when the game went to the penalty line. The host in Brooklynz

In the end, the one who actually praised was Kevin Durant, who provided only 19 points and in fact it was the first time this season that the star dropped from 20 points per game.
"Steph does everything on the pitch, he cares about the game, he cares about his friends. He plays with a lot of energy, and works non-stop. There is no doubt that Steph plays at the Hall of Fame. It should be respected. I was there. He is a champion at what he does, and I said "It's from the first day he came to the league. He knows how to do anything with the ball."

Even his coach Steve Kerr, who often compliments his star during the season, continued on the same line: "I think he has never been a player like him in the league. Steph is an offensive force in his own right, and the fact that he is so lethal with and without the ball makes him a very, very unique player. "He has absolute control of the ball, not to mention his pick and roll. In my opinion, there will be no more such players in the league."
