Stephen Curry reaches 4,000 career 3-pointers, Warriors rout Kings for sixth straight win

Boston Globe14-03-2025
Playing a day before his 37th birthday, the two-time NBA MVP needed two more from deep coming into the game. Last Saturday, he became the 26th player to score 25,000 points. Curry had 11 points Thursday.
His first 3 was from the left wing with 5:35 left in the first. Smothered by Keegan Murray and DeMar DeRozan, Curry missed on his second try from near the top of the arc — after Green scored the first six points on a pair of 3s.

Jonathan Kuminga returned from a right ankle injury that sidelined him for 31 games. He had 18 points on 7-for-10 shooting.
DeRozan scored 23 points for the Kings in their third straight loss and fourth in five.
Steve Kerr matched late Hall of Famer Al Attles for most coaching wins in Warriors franchise history with 557.

Bulls, Billy Donovan agree to contract extension: Source

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has inked an extension with the franchise, per a team source. Donovan will enter his sixth season at the helm, having amassed a 195-205 record since 2020. The Bulls have finished the past three seasons in the NBA's Play-In Tournament. Donovan, who will be a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame 2025 induction class, was notably pursued by the New York Knicks during their coaching search before they were ultimately turned away. Negotiations between the Bulls and Donovan reportedly preceded the Knicks' interest. Advertisement Following the 2023-24 season, Donovan's staff was shaken up, with assistants Chris Fleming and Maurice Cheeks let go. Wes Unseld Jr. and Dan Craig were later brought in. Donovan's time with the Bulls began following six seasons as head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, which concluded in 2020, when Donovan was named the NBA co-Coach of the Year. 'It became apparent that we couldn't provide (Donovan) the information on the future direction of the team over the next several seasons to give him the level of clarity that he understandably desires at this stage of his career,' Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a statement after mutually parting ways with Donovan following the expiration of his contract. Now, Donovan will head a team that's made a single rotational change — trading guard Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Isaac Okoro — since May's ninth-place finish, which resulted in a first-round out in the Play-In Tournament. Donovan, who also coached two NCAA championship teams at Florida, is set to be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in September.

Former Boston Celtics draft pick signs two-way contract with Houston Rockets

On Thursday, July 24, the Boston Celtics waived JD Davison. The Alabama product had been with the franchise for three years, winning the G League MVP in 2025. However, it hasn't taken Davison long to find a new home in the NBA, as on Saturday, July 26, he signed a two-way deal with the Houston Rockets, per the NBA's transaction logs. Davison will likely spend most of the season suiting up for the Rio Grand Valley Vipers, but will undoubtedly have his sights set on cracking Ime Udoka's rotation. Unlike his time in Boston, there could be some scope for him to earn minutes within Udoka's second unit. Outside of Fred VanVleet, Reed Sheppard and Aaron Holiday, there isn't much depth at the guard position, which could give Davion a clearer path forward. Throughout his three-year tenure with the Celtics, Davison suited up for 36 games, averaging 1.9 points and 0.9 rebounds in 5.5 minutes per contest. He will undoubtedly be hoping to showcase more of his skill set in Houston, where the team's style of play better suits what he brings to the table. Celtics fans can now continue to follow Boston's former draft pick and his development out in the Western Conference, as Davison continues to pursue an NBA career.

Can the Boston Celtics Summer League standouts crack Joe Mazzulla's rotation?

Joe Mazzulla faces a tough task in the upcoming season. Since being hired as the Boston Celtics head coach, Mazzulla has led a championship-level roster. Now, for the first time in his tenure, his remit will be to develop some of the younger talent under contract, either to help them cement themselves as part of the team's future or to help build up their trade value. Brad Stevens has given Mazzulla multiple young players to work with, from Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh, who have been with the team for a year or more, to Luka Garza and Josh Minott, who are looking for a bigger opportunity in the NBA. And that's before we factor in the latest round of rookie additions, highlighted by 19-year-old Hugo Gonzalez. In a recent episode of NESN's "Hold My Banner" podcast, Adam Pellerin and Ountae Campbell discuss whether Walsh and Gonzalez — two players who thrived in Las Vegas Summer League — can find a way of breaking into Mazzulla's game day rotation, and if so, what type of role they could command.
