Steph Curry lights up Wiz with 51 as Warriors win 8th straight
WASHINGTON -- Stephen Curry scored 36 of his 51 points in the first half to offset a monster offensive game from John Wall, and the Golden State Warriors pulled away to beat the Washington Wizards 134-121 Wednesday night for their eighth straight victory.
Curry made 13 of his first 14 shots and finished 19-of-28 from the field and 11-of-26 from 3-point territory. His 11 3s tied a career high.
At 45-4, the Warriors continued on their run by tying the 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers for the best 49-game start in NBA history.
Along with Curry's 51, Klay Thompson scored 24 points, and Draymond Green had 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists.
Wall led the Wizards (21-26) with 10 assists and 41 points, his season high.
Curry made his first six shots from the field, including his first 5 3-point attempts, and finished the first quarter with 25 points on 9-for-10 shooting. The Warriors led 43-28 after the first and let the lead slip to nine with Curry on the bench for the first portion of the second.
Back on the floor, Curry just kept scoring. His 36 points at halftime were the most of any first half in his career and broke the Verizon Center record of 34 set by Michael Jordan on Dec. 29, 2001.
Curry went 3-of-10 in the third quarter. With him actually missing shots, the Wizards cut a 14-point halftime deficit to two at one point and to three at another until Golden State went on a 10-0 run to take the game back over.
