The MVP of the night | Stephen Curry has found his paw | NBA

Game after game, week after week, Stephen Curry has slipped in the MVP race, and in January he's running 29% from 3-pointers, and he'd just been an awful 3-of-23 from afar in the last two games. of Warriors. But tonight, against Wolves, he regained some of his luster, and he signs one of his most convincing matches for a long time. Alongside his "Splash Brother", he has 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, all 50% on shots, with a nice 6 of 10 from 3-point range. Curry had not reached 60% at 3-pointers since November 17!

Number 1 in the East, the Heat parade but do not ignite | NBA

For the past few days, the Heat have taken control of the Eastern Conference, which makes sense as Erik Spoelstra's players have been solid and consistent since the start of the season. But it's also a scary prospect as Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler missed much of the first half of the season, and it feels like Miami has yet to show their full potential. The franchise still has a few weeks to improve, but obviously they are not sulking their pleasure of being the best team in the East after almost 50 games. "The competition is tough, so it's fun", explains the Heat coach au Sun Sentinel. “You shouldn't be obsessed with the rankings and everyone reminds you that you have to arrive in good health for the playoffs.
