The impressive rating of Steph Curry’s recent game would be an understatement.
Prior to Thursday’s game in San Francisco, the two-time most valuable player averaged 37.4 scorching points at 57.5 percent of field goal shooting over a five-game stretch. Curry was on fire beyond the arc at the time, hitting 6.4 triples per game at 50% shooting beyond the arc.
Against the Orlando Magic from the Chase Center, the All-Star took six times right where he stayed. Curry burned Magic for 40 points on 14-of-26 shooting from the field with eight boards, five assists and four steals in 37 minutes. The Golden State guard remained hot from a great distance, recording 10 triples in 19 attempts.
Although it didn’t matter, Curry ended his 40-point effort with a blow that led to his jaw. After the final sound rang to seal Golden State’s 111-105 victory over Orlando, Curry fired a hidden shot from behind the 3-point line that went through the back of the net.
