The Golden State Warriors defeated the Sacramento Kings 116-113 on Monday night in the NBA.
It was a tough game for the reigning league champions, who trailed as much as 12 points in the third quarter and looked destined for their fifth straight loss of the season, but Stephen Curry stepped in to rescue his side.
The Warriors star contributed 47 points and 7 triples in what was a relentless individual presentation, with several shots at key moments that led Steve Kerr’s team to victory.
Curry has made 53 3-pointers this season, the 2nd-most through a player’s first 10 games of a season all-time.
