Golden State Warriors – Memphis Grizzlies: Still on his planet, point guard Stephen Curry signs 46 points

He’s unstoppable again. Stephen Curry scored 46 points to propel Golden State to a difficult 113-104 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, allowing the Warriors to maintain the NBA’s best record ahead of Phoenix, which they face on Saturday.

Curry had eight three-pointers. His coach, Steve Kerr, praised the performance of his point guard who scored at least 40 points for the fifth time this season. “It’s pretty much the best you can do against a very physical defense with a tall stature. By reaching 46 points, he showed the full extent of his talent and willpower tonight,” said the manager of the San Francisco-based franchise, which has 26 wins for five losses.

The shock of Christmas promises: for their part, the Suns, well led by the 30 points of Devin Booker, easily beat one of the weakest teams in the league, Oklahoma City, 113-101 at home. Led by three points at halftime, Phoenix, second in the West behind Golden State, outclassed the Thunder 37-21 in the third quarter to take control of the game.
