The Golden State Warriors are in San Antonio as they face the Spurs tonight. It is the first game of a five-game road trip. Stephen Curry and the Dubs come into the game with a three-game losing streak, hoping to correct the same tonight.

The San Antonio Spurs are on a three-game skid themselves and would like to change things up as they host the Dubs at the Alamodome. However, tonight isn’t just another regular season game. The Spurs have packed the Alamodome with the most audience in attendance for any regular season game in NBA History.
Stephen Curry and the Warriors would look to use this historic game to correct their record and get back to .500. Before the game started, JJ Redick talked about the game and the previous record.
JJ Redick compares Stephen Curry to Michael Jordan
While talking about the NBA record ahead of the Warriors-Spurs game, JJ Redick and the ESPN crew talked about the previous record holders. The previous record for the most attendance in an NBA game was set during a Chicago Bulls-Atlanta Hawks game in 1998. Michael Jordan headlined the previous contest at the Georgia Dome.
This time around, it’s Stephen Curry who is the main attraction. Talking about the same, JJ Redick said,
JJ Reddick ‘Michael Jordan can sell the tickets. Steph Curry can also sell the tickets. Both of these players capture the imagination of the generation of fans’

JJ is on point here. Michael Jordan had a knack for capturing attention and selling out arenas wherever he went. The same applies to Stephen Curry. The Warriors get a ton of support on the road, no matter where they go, and there is always a sea of #30 jerseys.
Whether it’s his ball handling, insane shooting, or his crafty drives to the basket, Stephen Curry is must-see TV and is even better when you watch him in person.
Can the Warriors defend their title?
The way the Warriors started the season, it looked tough for them to even get a winning record. However, as of late, we’ve seen the Warriors find ways to play out the rough games and find ways to secure a win.
Stephen Curry is back and healthy, and slowly the others are making their way back to the court as well. If the Warriors are healthy come playoff time, all they need is a seeding in the Top-6. Come playoffs, it’s the others who need to knock the Dubs out, and not the other way around.
