Steph #Steph
With only nine players active against the Dallas Mavericks due to a trio of injuries, the Golden State Warriors needed to lean on Steph Curry. On Saturday night, the two-time Most Valuable Player answered the bell.
It didn’t take long for Curry to catch fire, scoring 30 points in the opening half on 10-of-15 shooting from the field in 19 minutes against Dallas. The sharpshooting guard drilled an off-balanced triple for his seventh 3-pointer of the half to cap off the second quarter.

From the start of the second-half whistle, Curry picked up right where he left off. With 7:40 remaining in the third quarter, the six-time All-Star showed off his range, burying a deep 3-pointer from the Mavericks logo at center court. Following his long-distance jumper, Curry pulled out his signature shimmy dance move.
