Steph Curry sat down after an insane three-quarter performance: He hit 11 threes before sitting in the fourth quarter.
Was that his greatest game ever? Let’s look back and rank his all-time best performances.
10. January 27, 2018 vs. Celtics
Curry stats: 49 points on 16-of-24 shooting, 8-of-13 from three, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals
A statement game against a tough Celtics team with a four-point win. He hit a key three late to put the Dubs up by 98-95 before the team pulled away.
9. January 31, 2014 vs. Jazz
Curry stats: 44 points on 14-of-26 shooting, 8-of-13 from three, 4 assists
The Warriors won 95-90, which means Curry scored nearly 50 percent of Golden State’s points. ABSURD.
8. May 6, 2013 vs. Spurs in the playoffs
Curry stats: 44 points on 18-of-35 shooting, 6-of-14 from three, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals
Too bad the Warriors lost by two. Extra points for this one coming in the postseason. Curry became the first player with 40-plus points and 10-plus dimes against the Spurs in San Antonio’s storied history.
7. February 4, 2015 vs. Mavericks
Curry stats: 51 points on 16-of-26 shooting, 10-of-16 from three, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal
Ten threes!
6. October 31, 2015 vs. Pelicans
Curry stats: 53 points on 17-of-27 shooting, 8-of-14 from three, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal
Happy Halloween, indeed.
5. February 13, 2016 vs. Wizards
Curry stats: 51 points on 19-of-28 shooting, 11-of-15 from three, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals
There’s something about being in Washington for Curry. Another 11-three game!
4. October 24, 2018 vs. Wizards
Curry stats: 51 points on 15-of-24 shooting, 11-of-16 from three, 4 rebounds, 3 assists
We have to put this year partially because it presents a what-if: Was Curry on the way to his greatest game ever if he played in the fourth quarter?
3. February 27, 2013 vs. Knicks
Curry stats: 54 points on 18-of-28 shooting, 11-of-13 from three, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals
ANOTHER one where the Warriors lost, yet it wasn’t on Curry, who shot 64.3 percent from the field.
2. February 25, 2016 vs. Magic
Curry stats: 51 points on 20-of-27 shooting, 10-of-15 from three, 7 rebounds 8 assists
Look at that line again. HE MISSED JUST 7 SHOTS ALL NIGHT. Five of those were from beyond the arc. On top of that, he dished out eight dimes? Insanity.
1. February 27, 2016 vs. Thunder
Curry stats: 46 points on 14-of-24 shooting, 12-of-16 from three, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals
It’s the GOAT for one other reason besides the 12 threes:
