Stephen Curry was in his elements last night and erupted for 40 points to help the Warriors to the victory. He went 12-for-21 from the field, including a red-hot 9-for-12 from the three-point line and registered his seventh game with 40 or more points this season.

In the first quarter, Curry had 18 points and helped the Warriors take a 36-26 lead at the end of the quarter. He also became the Warriors' third-leading scorer of all time en route to his 40 points.

Curry (16,283) trails only Rick Barry (16,447) and Wilt Chamberlain (17,783) on the Warriors all-time scoring list and is expected to eventually surpass both these all-time greats to become the Warriors' leading scorer.
