2. Stephen Curry’s 51 points

Analysts often praise Stephen Curry for his ability to take over games, and single-handedly win them if the team needs him to. We haven’t had to see Curry go into superhero mode too often this season, but his one-man show against the Dallas Mavericks was a thing of beauty.

Down 19 points after a horrible first quarter, the Warriors were reeling, and looked to be in for a long night. They rallied in the subsequent quarters, but had Curry to thank for finding a way back into the game.

He dropped 26 points in the third quarter alone, as the Warriors clawed their way back and even came away with a comfortable 14-point win. Curry made 10 of his 16 attempts from beyond the arc, and was simply raining fire from his hands.

And here’s the best part: Curry could have easily topped the 52 points Klay had against Sacramento, but chose not to, and began deferring to his teammates once the victory was in the bag.
