Knicks looking to spoil Steph Currys latest chance for a vintage Broadway moment

It has been an exciting winter at the Garden, from the contending Knicks to sixth-ranked St.John’s lighting up the city’s hardwood.Now comes another must-see event: Steph Curry’s lone trip to MSG to take on Tom Thibodeau’s team. One of the sport’s all-time great shooters comes to town on Tuesday, and even at the age of 36, Curry hasn’t lost much.Just last week, the Warriors superstar scored 56 points and sank 12 3-point shots in a win over the Magic in Orlando.

Golden State has turned it on of late, entering Monday’s game against the Hornets having won seven of nine games to pull into a sixth-place tie in the Western Conference with the Clippers at 32-28. Curry’s overall numbers are slightly down, but he remains one of the game’s elite.He’s still averaging 24.1 points in 32.1 minutes while shooting 39.6 percent on 11.2 attempts from 3-point range.

Recently, he told the San Francisco Standard he has thought about his future. “You think about that more and more.I’m not at the farewell yet.

That’s just part of time,” Curry said.“If you’re fighting human nature or fighting the inevitable in that, then … I don’t think you’re handling it right.

Because you need a little bit of fear of what’s coming, what an end might look like, to inform decisions that you’re making now and appreciate what’s going on right now.” Curry has enjoyed some memorable nights at MSG, most notably his 54-point, 11-3-pointer outburst in a narrow loss in 2013.He also set the league’s all-time 3-point record there in a victory on Dec.

15, 2021, passing Ray Allen.Last year, he powered the Warriors to an 11-point win with a 31-point effort. The Knicks (40-20) are hoping this trip to the city isn’t an enjoyable one for Curry, at least his night on Broadway.The Warriors visit the Nets on Thursday.

The Knicks are coming off impressive back-to-back road wins over the Grizzlies and Heat, victories by a combined five points that showed their grit....
