JUST IN: “Steph Curry Lights Up the Court in Warriors’ Victory Over Mavericks”
Steph cooks up 30 as the Golden State Warriors lock in their 3rd straight win! Jimmy Buttler III: 18 PTS (5-9 FGM), 5 AST Brandin Podziemski: 17 PTS, 13 REB (career high)
The Golden State Warriors have looked like a completely different team since acquiring Jimmy Butler III, and Sunday was yet another data point in their favor. On a nationally-televised game, with Andre Iguodala getting his jersey retired, the Warriors dominated and destroyed the Dallas Mavericks, winning 126-102. They’re now 5-1 since acquiring Butler, despite this being their lone home game during that span. And they’ve returned from the All-Star break with back-to-back 24-point wins over the teams directly ahead of them in the standings.
Spoiler: the players played well on Sunday. The grades will be strong today. But they still must be doled out. As always, grades are based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” grade representing the average performance for that player.
Note: True-shooting percentage (TS) is a scoring efficiency metric that accounts for threes and free throws. Entering Sunday’s games, league-average TS was 57.4%.
Moses Moody
27 minutes, 14 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 foul, 5-for-10 shooting, 1-for-4 threes, 3-for-4 free throws, 59.5% TS, +16
I was so excited for Butler to join Jonathan Kuminga and teach him some things. I hadn’t really stopped to think too much about how he might impact Moody’s game, though.
It seems like the answer is a lot. Moody is playing the best ball of his career, which is primarily due to the work he’s put in, and the stable minutes he’s finally getting after the Warriors traded four players for one (all while Kuminga has been sidelined). But you can also see a big influence from Butler. This is far and away the most aggressive that Moody has played in his career, and you can especially see him bully smaller opponents in a way he never has — and in a way that Butler is famous for.
Moody made a name for himself as a youngster who quietly did all the right things, rarely making mistakes but not really having the ability to leave a big mark on games, either. That seems to be changing. He’s become not just a factor, but a force, both on offense and on defense.
Jimmy Butler III
28 minutes, 18 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 5-for-9 shooting, 0-for-2 threes, 8-for-8 free throws, 71.9% TS, +28
If you need some stats that contextualize just how dramatic Butler’s impact has been on the Warriors, here you go: over the last three games, he’s committed one foul, turned the ball over one time, and shot 21 free throws.
This is Steph Curry’s team, but it’s Butler’s transformation. The Warriors are simultaneously more aggressive and more careful on offense. They’re an entirely new team on defense. And their attitude has a night-and-day difference.
Also, might as well just start naming the final minutes of the third quarter off of Butler, because he just completely takes over in that time.
Grade: A
Draymond Green
27 minutes, 13 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 2 turnovers, 1 foul, 5-for-10 shooting, 0-for-2 threes, 3-for-4 free throws, 55.3% TS, +19
Just kind of vintage Draymond. Stellar defense, great passing, tons of attitude and energy. He looks revitalized, and fully aware of how good the Warriors can be with Butler in the fold.
Grade: A-
Brandin Podziemski
30 minutes, 17 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 7-for-15 shooting, 3-for-5 threes, 56.7% TS, +30
Quite simply a spectacular game from Podziemski. The box score captures that he did some good things on defense, scored a lot, and somehow finished with five more rebounds than any other player on either team, despite being one of the shortest players on the court. The box score doesn’t capture the impact his energy, hustle, and competitiveness had.
Podziemeski was all over the court. He seemed to have his fingertips on every loose ball and every rebound opportunity. He seemed to sneak a hip, elbow, or shoulder into every cutting Mavericks player to throw them off their line. He quarterbacked the offense.
🔥 The internet is on fire! Ivan.k.a Tru.m.p tried to drag Jimmy Kimmel, calling him a “washed-up, overhyped late-night cue-card reader” but she clearly didn’t expect what came next. Kimmel fired back with six words so sharp, so devastating, they froze the entire internet. Ivan.k.a? Completely silent. No tweet. No response. Within hours, the moment went viral – millions cheering as Kimmel turned insult into pure power. It wasn’t just a clapback. It was a statement. Read fu|| be|ow👇

“I’m saying this as a wife — someone who watches her husband put his health on the line every single week for his team and for this game. I can accept a loss. I can accept how physical football is. But what happened tonight went far beyond that line. Everyone knows what a legal football play looks like. And everyone knows when a defender completely abandons the play and launches himself at a quarterback who has already released the ball. That’s no longer reaction. That’s a choice. And the hit on Patrick Mahomes was not an accident. He was fully exposed, in the most vulnerable position possible — and the defender still chose to drive straight through him. That’s reckless. That’s dangerous. And that’s how careers, and even lives, can be changed in a split second. What hurt the most was what came after — the celebrations, the smirks, the chest-pounding, as if injuring a quarterback was something to be proud of. If anyone wants to understand what was really shown tonight, don’t look at the scoreboard. Look at the reactions after that hit. Look at the silence on our sideline — and the noise on theirs. I don’t need to name names. Anyone who watches the replay knows exactly what happened. And I want to speak directly to the league and the officials: the hesitation, the late flags, the way dangerous moments get brushed aside or ‘managed’ instead of judged — we see it. The fans see it. And the lack of accountability is louder than any stadium tonight. The NFL talks constantly about protecting quarterbacks and player safety. But week after week, dangerous hits get labeled as ‘physical football,’ depending on whose jersey is involved. If that’s the standard now, then a line that should never be crossed has clearly been erased. We lost the game 13–16. That’s the score. But what’s unacceptable is that Patrick gave everything to keep his team in it — and paid for it with his health. The entire country saw what happened. You can’t erase that hit from the conversation just because the game kept moving. And I’ll say this clearly — if the league doesn’t truly step up to protect its players, if these standards continue to shift based on convenience, then tonight will not be the last time I speak up to defend my husband and tell the truth.” WATCH FULL [VIDEO] Via the link 👇👇👇

⚡️”LATEST NEWS ON DECEMBER 13: Gavin Newsom revealed that an anonymous figure sent him a three-page letter carrying a chilling core message: “12 individuals received more than 60 million dollars for helping bury a secret that shook America.” He announced that he will reveal each name live at 11 p.m. tonight. The disclosure instantly detonated a media firestorm across the United States. Those three pages were not merely a letter, but a warning—an unofficial indictment packed with details powerful enough to destabilize multiple layers of influence. Patel said he spent the entire night rereading the document, dissecting every line and cross-checking every clue, attempting to grasp the true scale of what had been hidden from the public. According to sources familiar with the contents, the 12 individuals occupy positions “no one would ever suspect.” Now, with this mysterious letter landing directly on Kash Patel’s desk, the wall of silence that protected the secret for years has officially begun to fracture. And at 11 p.m. tonight, the nation may witness what many are already calling “the hour of reckoning.”
