Stephen Curry is the only small player in the NBA that could dominate the 2017-18 LA Clippers team in this manner. Prime Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Tobias Harris, Lou Williams and Austin Rivers made the Clippers a formidable squad.

Toying with such a squad is no mean feat. Stephen Curry with 72.7% conversion rate from downtown in this match is unbelievable. He made eight of his 11 attempts from the perimeter and scored a total of 44 points. He also made six of his eight two-pointer attempts along with recording 10 assists and six rebounds. Chef Curry also made all eight of his free throws in the match.

There has not been a Big-3 in the history of the league that has remained as dominant as the San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. The trio played together for 14 seasons and won four championships together.

This particular match was the first game in the Western Conference semifinals series between the Warriors and the Spurs. Stephen Curry scored a whooping 44 points in this match that went into overtime. The Spurs squad went on to take the Miami Heat to the seventh game of the finals series and yet it took all of the legendary Big-3's might to defeat a lone Warrior.

Despite Steve Kerr's team's 127-129 loss, Curry was an absolute demon on the court. He had not yet evolved into the shooter he is now, but was still an excellent scorer and feeder. He recorded 35 field goal attempts in the game and converted an unbelievable 18 of them. His six shots from downtown and 11 assists in the match.

#1 Portland Trail Blazers - April 9, 2015

On April 9, 2015, Stephen Curry scored 90% of his two-point field goals. He also converted all three of his free throws to beat the Blazers by a lead of 11 points. The team from Portland had no way to defend the Golden State Mastro.

This was the season Stephen Curry emerged as a scary perimeter shooter. In this match he also registered 10 assists to overwhelm the young Damian Lillard-led squad.
