“He’s making shots that you be like, ‘Whoa!'” Warriors player Andrew Wiggins told ESPN. “There’s not a lot of shots that he can’t make. As soon as he steps over half, he’s a threat, so he causes a lot of attention. So when he gets rolling, you just sit back and watch and let him roll.”
To make things more impressive, Curry is now 141-39 over his career when he scores 30 points or more.
“If I can create shots and create momentum scoring the basketball, there’s probably going to be some more attention my way,” Curry told ESPN. “And they know that I’m going to try and make the right play at all times and get going and get guys opportunities.”
This game was Curry’s second most impressive game in the 2021 season so far, next to his 62-point performance against the Portland Trail Blazer on January 3.
