Stephen Curry scores 51 points with 11 3s as Warriors win
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Stephen Curry grinned as he kept lighting up the floor, scoring 51 points and finishing with 11 3-pointers in only three quarters of the Golden State Warriors' 144-122 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
He scored 31 in the first half, finished with his sixth career 50-point game and made 10 or more 3s for the 10th time. The 51 points matched his most at Oracle Arena.
Curry hit his first five 3-pointers then after his fifth one drove to the basket and was fouled. He made two free throws to chants of "MVP! MVP!" The two-time winner of the award had the ninth 30-point half of his career and fourth at home.
Curry shot 15 for 24, 11 of 16 from 3-point range and made all 10 free throws, missing his career high of 54 set in February 2013 by three points.
