Curry hit 14 of his 25 field goal attempts, including eight of 15 from three. It was his most points in a game since a 50-point outburst against the Los Angeles Clippers on March 15th and his 26th 30+ point game of the season. Over his 51 appearances in the 2022-23 season, Curry is averaging 29.6 points per game, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game. He remains the league's most awe-striking shooter with a deadly .428 field goal percentage from three and an eye-popping .660 true shooting percentage.

The win lifts the Warriors to 40-37, good for sixth in the Western Conference. They've bounced back from a troubling three-game losing streak to win four of five, and they now control their destiny when it comes to avoiding the play-in tournament. If they can advance straight to the playoffs, they'll be among the most feared teams in the field. They're the defending 2021-22 champions, and no team in the NBA has the postseason pedigree; their core trio of Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have won four titles together.

The Warriors are back in action Friday against the San Antonio Spurs.
