Stephen Curry is making a knack of having explosive performances. Two nights removed from a 13-rebound effort, the most rebounds Curry had pulled in since March of 2016, his encore performance was a career-best 15 rebounds as part of a 29-point and 10-assist triple-double to lead the Warriors to a 125-107 victory on Tuesday night. The triple-double is his first since January 22, 2016 against the Indiana Pacers
D'Angelo Russell ensured Curry wasn't going it alone, scoring a season-high 32 points, the first time that Curry has not led the Warriors in scoring, and 12 assists in his fourth double-double of the season.
With the game at 56-54 at halftime, the Warriors came out in the second half and immediately began pulling away. The blistered the net, shooting 14-for-24 (58%) in the quarter and nailing four of their nine three-point field attempts and racking up 10 team assists. That ball movement and hot scoring continued into the fourth, where the Dubs had 11 assists and shot 13-for-24 (54%) from the floor while holding the Grizzlies to 8-for-20 (40%) shooting.
Draymond Green's run of double-digit rebounds came to a close as he pulled in just seven, but he did have 13 points and eight assists.
Golden State heads to Dallas on Wednesday night for the second game of a back-to-back set.
