Steph Curry reminds us of his skill
Curry started the game incredibly hot, scoring 21 points in the first quarter alone. He ended the half with 31 points and it looked like we were set for a Curry shooting clinic.
But even the most ardent of Steph Curry fans weren’t expecting him to go off the way he did in the second half. Steph went on to score another 31 in the second half, including 5 three-pointers.
Many NBA players reacted with high praise for Curry. However, his brother Seth chose to throw some light-hearted jabs at Steph. Hilariously, Jimmy Butler came down to his defense.
Regardless of the jokes, one thing remains clear; Steph Curry is here to stay.

Steph Curry had a historic night at the Chase Center and created one of the biggest memories of the newly formed arena. If Curry continues to perform like this, the Warriors can overcome their average start to the season and return to the NBA playoffs. Moreover, Curry showed that it would be premature to take him and the Warriors out of the championship conversation.
