The best plays of Stephen Curry on Monday night as the Warriors beat the Spurs
The Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs met to do battle on Monday night in ORACLE Arena and what was supposed to be a matchup between the two best teams in the Western Conference and the NBA. What it turned into pretty quickly at the hands of the reigning league MVP was the Stephen Curry show.
The Warriors point guard absolutely dominated from the first moment he was on the floor until he was pulled with Golden State winning the game no longer even in doubt late in the third quarter. In just 28 minutes of play, Curry put up 37 points, four assists, five steals, and two rebounds while shooting 12-20 from the floor and 6-9 from deep.
Of course—as Stephen Curry tends to do—he put up most of his numbers with flair worthy of being named the NBA MVP.
Steph got the show started before tip-off, knocking down a three from the edge of the logo at mid-court:
Then the game started and, well, not a whole hell of a lot changed in terms of the results of Curry’s shots:

Perhaps the only accurate way to describe what Curry was doing to the Spurs seemingly every trip down the floor is this tweet from a Warriors-centric site:

Honestly, that’s probably not even far from the truth, because Stephen Curry dominating San Antonio was the main event on Vine, Twitter, and everywhere else on Monday night.
