On Tuesday evening, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 111-97 to improve to 5-0 in the preseason.
Steph Curry finished his night with 16 points, five rebounds, six assists and two steals while shooting 6/18 from the field and 3/11 from the three-point range in 28 minutes of playing time.
After the game, the future Hall of Famer made a post to Instagram that had over 300,000 likes and 1,000 comments in three hours.
Curry captioned his post: "The prep continues #dubnation"
Losing Klay Thompson is tough, but the Warriors added players such as Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson and De'Anthony Melton, who are expected to make up a lot of the lost production.
They will play their first game of the 2024-25 regular season when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on October 23 in Oregon.
