The Golden State Warriors are proving once again why depth matters in the NBA, stepping up in a major way as team leader Steph Curry battles illness. With Curry sidelined for Wednesday’s game against the Kings, coach Steve Kerr is turning to his bench to keep the team’s momentum rolling.

Moses Moody emerged as the standout performer in Tuesday’s win against the Phoenix Suns, delivering a season-high 24 points and showcasing why he’s a crucial part of the Warriors’ future. Moody’s impressive performance – shooting 7 of 11 from the field and 5 of 8 from three-point range – demonstrates the team’s “Strength In Numbers” philosophy.

Curry, who has been battling a cold, played through his illness in the previous game, scoring 28 points while visibly struggling. “Second half, tank was on E,” Curry admitted, highlighting his determination to support his team even when not at full strength.

The potential absence of other key players like Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green due to back issues adds another layer of complexity to the Warriors’ lineup. However, Moody remains confident: “We got all the pieces we need,” he stated, reflecting the team’s resilient attitude.

The Warriors’ bench outscored the Suns’ bench by an impressive 44 points, proving that their roster depth is more than just a backup plan. With Curry likely to rest and recover for Friday’s game against the Nuggets, the team will rely on collective effort and emerging talents to maintain their competitive edge.

As the season progresses, games like these will test the Warriors’ adaptability and team chemistry. For now, all eyes are on the bench players who are ready to step up and prove they’re more than just supporting cast members.
