Tuesday 11 December 2018 08:42, UK
Stephen Curry drained seven three-pointers as his 38 points led the Golden State Warriors to victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Curry has been on a hot scoring streak since returning from injury and his scorching shooting continued as the Dubs dismissed the Timberwolves 116-108.
The two-time MVP connected on 12 of his 23 shots, including 7-of-14 three-pointers, pulled down seven rebounds and handed out six assists. He was also a perfect 7-of-7 from the free throw line.
Curry opened his account with the game's opening bucket, a three-pointer from the left wing. A neat give-and-go with Jonas Jerebko allowed him to connect with a corner three to earn the Warriors' an eight-point first quarter lead.
Despite missing 11 games through injury, Curry has topped 30 points eight times already this season.
That figure became nine as he scored at will in the second half against Minnesota, nailing threes from the right corner and top of the key, finishing a fast-break with a Euro-step lay-up and icing the game with a pull-up mid-range jumper.
