Historic Night for Stephen Curry
Stephen Curry lit up the court in San Francisco on April 1, 2025, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 134-125 win over the Memphis Grizzlies with a jaw-dropping 52 points. This wasn't just another win for the Warriors, but a night that added even more sparkle to Curry's already shimmering NBA career. Curry was simply uncontainable, making an impressive 16 of his 31 attempted shots and sinking 12 out of 20 three-pointers. This performance not only matched his season high for three-pointers in a game but also set him apart in the NBA history books.
The game saw Curry not only contributing with his scoring but also impressively grabbing 10 rebounds and making 5 steals. This feat made him the first player ever in the NBA to record more than 50 points, 10-plus three-pointers, and 5-plus steals in a single game. If that wasn't enough, this was Curry's 15th career game scoring 50 or more points, tying him for the sixth-most all-time in this category.
Team Play and Other Standouts
While Curry was certainly the star of the night, his teammates also delivered solid performances to secure the win. Jimmy Butler added a notable contribution with 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Meanwhile, Draymond Green showcased his all-around skills by achieving a double-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists. Their collective efforts have helped elevate the Warriors to fifth place in the highly competitive Western Conference, overtaking the Grizzlies in the standings.
On the other side of the court, Memphis' star, Ja Morant, tried valiantly to resist the Warriors' charge. Morant scored 36 points, along with 6 assists and 5 three-pointers. However, despite his efforts and the support from teammates like Zach Edey, who snatched 16 rebounds alongside his 10 points, the Grizzlies couldn't fend off their third consecutive loss. This slide moved them down to sixth in the conference, trailing closely behind the Warriors.
Next for the Warriors is a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers on April 3. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies will face the Miami Heat as they seek to recover from their recent downward trend.
