Steph Curry Drops 45 Points, Hits 8 3-Pointers in Win over Clippers

With Kevin Durant missing his second straight game with a calf injury, Stephen Curry carried the Golden State Warriors to a 121-105 win over the Los Angeles Clippers in the Staples Center on Saturday afternoon. 

Curry dropped a season-high 45 points, including eight three-pointers—and did it all in just three quarters. 

With the Warriors leading 103-76 entering the fourth quarter, head coach Steve Kerr pulled his starters as Golden State cruised to its fourth straight victory. 

Curry missed the majority of December with an ankle injury but appears to be back at full strength. In four contests since his return, he's averaging 36 points per game.
