Curry pours in 45 points
Print Edition
Stephen Curry erupted for 45 points to propel the Golden State Warriors to a 121-105 NBA victory over the Clippers in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Curry, who has dazzled since returning from an 11-game injury absence, connected on eight of his 16 three-point attempts and made a career-high 15 of his 16 free-throws.
He sat out the entire fourth quarter, but his 45 points in 29 minutes on the floor marked the fifth time in NBA history that a player scored 45 or more in 30 minutes or less.
鈥淚 knew right away, when I got free for a couple of threes in the first quarter and they went down, I got in a rhythm,鈥 Curry said. 鈥淏eyond that, you just keep your head down and keep shooting and stay aggressive.鈥
In the four games since his return, Curry has averaged 36 points while shooting 65.6 percent from the field.
鈥淗e鈥檚 on fire,鈥 said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. 鈥淢aybe the break was good for him. He鈥檚 been amazing.鈥
Curry鈥檚 performance meant the reigning NBA champion Warriors hardly missed forward Kevin Durant, who was again sidelined with a right calf strain.
Leading by nine at halftime, the Warriors out-scored the Clippers 39-21 in the third quarter, expanding the lead to as many as 30 points. 鈥淭hat third quarter was important for us,鈥 Kerr said. 鈥淏ut this was mainly about Steph tonight.鈥
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who have dueled with the Warriors in the past three NBA Finals, snapped their five-game road losing streak with a 131-127 victory over the Magic in Orlando. LeBron James scored 33 points, pulled down 10 rebounds and handed out nine assists.
