Curry scored 52 points and made 12 triples in the contest. He added 10 rebounds, eight assists and five robberies too. He was three triples to establish the record of his former teammate, Klay Thompson, and a triple to tie his personal record.

“Fifty -two points with people wrapped on him, the whole game for a long time,” said Wariors Chief Steve Kerr, and then added: “I have been seeing this for 11 years, and in reality more before becoming his coach … … you have a real feeling of the magnitude of his talent.
“The boy is amazing to see.”

Curry was held without a field goal, and the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies for 51 points in their last confrontation. He said he forgot about that game and was more concentrated in how big the game was when it was the image of playoffs.
The Warriors moved to fifth place at the West Conference with the victory, improving 44-31, and the Grizzlies fell to 44-32. Golden State is also half a game in the Minnesota Timberwolves and a complete game in Los Angeles Clippers.
Curry also passed Jerry West for the 25th position on the score list of all NBA.

“I was a bit excited about that,” Curry said about West’s passage. “It was special. In his memory. What meant for our organization, the league, to the world of basketball … That is the logo.”
Golden State will play the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday night. Memphis will face Miami Heat.
