Dillon Brooks’ revenge-fueled reason why he loves playing Stephen Curry

ByNBAUSA



PHOENIX – Revenge is a dish best served with a win, if that Dillon Brooks. After that Phoenix Suns defeated the Golden State Warriors in dramatic fashion 99-98 another vintage Brooks performance.

He finished the game with 24 points and was a constant threat throughout. Tenacious defense, microwave scoring and the ability to turn a game around is what the Suns wanted.

However, he has had extra motivation in the past few games. It happened on Thursday Stephen Curry. The latter had just 15 points compared to Brooks’ 24.

Nevertheless, the latter made his presence known through his physicality. Although some may have thought he was overreacting, he was out to prove something when playing against the best in the league.

“Those teams had my number on big stages for a while,” Brooks said after the game. “I’m trying to get to the big stage and perform there. These are just games to get to this point or to get to that point in the future.”

Dillon Brooks sees Suns’ win over Stephen Curry as redemption

This title can be a little misleading, but it gives the big picture. Curry has given Brooks his fair share of viral moments that have had the internet buzzing.

most significantly, Brooks was the victim of a curry masterclass in the 2024-25 NBA playoffs in the first round. The Warriors sharpshooter quickly found success with the Houston Rockets and had a memorable shutout game.

Now, Brooks is in Phoenix, hoping to reset narratives about not being a winner. He wants to prove that he belongs on the big stage. And judging by his career season under first-year head coach Jordan Ott, he may be right.

But one game won’t define everything, as has been the Suns’ mantra all season. They will continue to give their all as they take on the Warriors again, this time in the Bay on Saturday.
