The Golden State Warriors showcased their dominance by securing a 129-118 win against the Washington Wizards at the Chase Center. This victory marked the Warriors' season-high seventh consecutive win at home and added a 4th win to their streak. It was also the Warriors first double digit win at home this season!

Steph Curry, after a slow start. made eight 3-pointers and scored 30 points, and achieved his third 30-point game in the last four outings. He did this even while taking a back seat in most of the fourth quarter.

Unlike previous games where Curry stood as the lone star, this time he received substantial support from teammates. Klay Thompson contributed with 20 points, Jonathan Kuminga showcased his offensive abilities with 22 points, and rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis recorded his second straight double-double with 10 points and 15 rebounds. He is one of the only rookies to ever do this.

Kuminga's recent surge, scoring 63.8 percent more points since joining the starting lineup, has added a significant dimension to the Warriors' game. Together with Jackson-Davis, these young talents are making a substantial impact on both ends of the court.

Brandin Podziemski has returned to the starting lineup after overcoming back issues, scored 10 points, seven rebounds, and five assists. Podziemski's gritty style on the court has proven crucial, especially in the absence of Andrew Wiggins, who missed the game due to illness.

The Warriors' convincing win over the Wizards highlighted their team chemistry, with key players stepping up to ensure success. The contributions of Curry, Thompson, Kuminga, Jackson-Davis, and Podziemski showcased the depth and versatility of the roster and as the Warriors continue their winning streak we will see what this team is made of.
