Another incredible display of shooting from Curry as he went on to put up a 57-point performance against the Dallas Mavericks. Impressive was the fact that Curry was consistent the entire night. He finished the game 19-of-31 from the field, including 11-of-19 from downtown.

Curry scored 30 points in the first half alone and was starting to get into a serious groove at the time, as he registered seven of the team's first 23 games in which he finished with 35 points or more. It was one of the highest scoring games Curry has ever had, barring another performance that saw the star player achieve a new high.

Curry's 2020-21 performance against the Portland Trail Blazers will remain etched in one's memory. With the Warriors struggling throughout the season, critics questioned the play of Golden State and their superstar guard. Curry put up solid numbers heading into the game, averaging 26.4 points. But Curry wanted to send a message across to the doubters and he did that in a grand manner.

Curry went on to score 21 points in the opening quarter, but he wouldn't stop there. The flamethrower scoring threat would finish the game with 62 points, on 18-of-31 (58.1%) shooting. Curry would also end up going 18-of-19 from the free throw line. It remains the only time in his career in which he has scored 60 points or more.
