Stephen Curry scored 29 points as Golden State beat Miami 120-100 at Chase Center on Thursday, November 5. The Warriors have won six straight after starting the season 0-3.
Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg added 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Davion Mitchell led Miami with 22 points and eight assists, while Giannis Antetokounmpo had 20 points and 14 rebounds and Bam Adebayo finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Curry turns a slow start into a strong finish
Curry began 1-for-8 and was 2-for-10 at halftime, according to AP. He improved after the break and finished 9-for-19 with six three-pointers. A 26-9 Golden State run during the third quarter created the separation Miami could not recover from.
That sequence matters more than the final margin alone. Golden State won despite its leading scorer’s difficult first half, then took control when his shooting improved. Curry rested once the result was out of reach, finishing one point short of a fourth straight 30-point game.
Passing and support around Curry
Draymond Green supplied a season-high 11 assists, and Georges Niang scored 13 points off the bench. Golden State shot 16-for-41 from three-point range, a 39 percent return against a Miami team focused on defending the perimeter.
Lendeborg’s combination of scoring, rebounding and passing gave the Warriors another source of production. One result does not settle his longer-term role, but those contributions helped turn Curry’s late surge into a comfortable team win.
Thompson returns and Curry passes Robertson
Klay Thompson received a warm ovation before facing his former team. He scored 11 points on 3-for-10 shooting. Former Warrior Andrew Wiggins also faced Golden State, finishing with two points, six rebounds and four assists.
Curry’s first-quarter three-pointer moved him past Oscar Robertson into 17th on the NBA’s career scoring list. Golden State next hosts Orlando on Saturday; Miami visits Sacramento on Sunday, according to AP’s report.

Correction, November 7, 2026: Curry started slowly, rather than doing the early scoring work as an earlier version said. We removed the unsupported claim that this was Thompson’s first visiting game in San Francisco, along with details not established by the cited report.
