Two-time MVP Stephen Curry continued his impressive performance this season, torching the Mavericks with 28 points and six assists.

Not only did Curry come out on top Thursday night, he currently sits in first place among Western Conference guards for the All-Star voting—right in front of Luka Doncic, who had 27 points.

Kelly Oubre Jr., who had a career-high game with 40 points and 8 rebounds, provided Curry with significant assistance.

Ultimately it wasn’t enough to tip the scales, but guard Jalen Brunson played magnificently off the bench, contributing 18 points and four rebounds.
