Stephen Curry Cooks Up Signature Performance Against Memphis Grizzlies

By admin On Apr 3, 2025

Add another historic performance to Stephen Curry’s resume.

In the Dubs’ 134-125 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, Curry posted a statline that had only been replicated once in the league’s history.

The two-time MVP splashed 12 triples, finishing with 52 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists and five steals. Curry shot 60% from beyond the arc and was a perfect 8-8 from the free-throw line.

The only ever player to post 50 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists and five steals in a game was another Warrior—franchise legend Rick Barry in 1974.

Maybe it’s a Golden State thing.

Jimmy Butler added 27 points while Draymond Green finished with a 13-point, 12-assist and 10-rebound triple-double.

Ja Morant led the Grizzlies with 36 points, while SLAM Cover star Jaren Jackson Jr. finished with 22 points. Rookie center Zach Edey posted a double-double, dropping 10 points and grabbing 16 boards.

Curry started off the game scorching hot, hitting five triples in the first quarter alone. He rested for most of the second quarter, but added two more to close out the half, with his second in the quarter coming from way downtown.

Golden State took a 74-66 lead into the third quarter, and the three-point barrage continued. The Warriors made 22 total triples on the night, but none were more surprising then when Kevon Looney faded to the corner with the shot clock winding down and nailed a three, sending the Warriors bench into a frenzy.

After Looney’s triple, the Grizzlies responded with a three from Santi Aldama and two Edey dunks end the third quarter deadlocked at 103.

In the fourth quarter, both teams battled, posting 10 lead changes in the final frame.

With Memphis clinging to a one-point lead with under three minutes to play, Green swung a pass to the corner, where Curry hit his 12th triple of the night. Golden State then closed out the final minutes of play on a 13-5 run to seal the deal.

Curry’s 12 three-pointers were tied for his second-highest mark in his career, one short of tying his performance in 2016 when he shot a ridiculously efficient 13-17 from beyond the arc in a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.

With the win, the Dubs jumped three teams in the Western Conference standings and now sit in fifth place, one spot clear of the Play-In Tournament.

Memphis, having fired coach Taylor Jenkins, have free-fallen into eighth place. The Grizzlies are 2-8 in their last 10 games.
