GAME LEADERS
Stephen Curry went off in the second half and the Warriors picked up their 50th victory of the season with Monday’s 98-80 road win over the Phoenix Suns.
Playing the back end of a back-to-back, Curry stepped up in the third quarter after both teams combined to play a sloppy first half. Curry lit up the scoreboard with 10 points during an 18-3 run that put the Warriors in control of the game. Curry hit a pair of 3-pointers during the run, but he was just getting started.
With the Suns threatening a fourth quarter comeback, Curry erased any chance of the home team picking up a win when he caught fire once again from 3-point range. The All-Star guard and reigning Three-Point Contest champion went 4-for-5 from the perimeter in the fourth quarter and wound up with 25 of his 36 points in the second half.
