Steph Curry had one of his most impressive performances of the season as the Warriors cruised to a comfortable victory over the division-rival Clippers.
Curry scored a season-high 45 points in just 29 minutes as the Warriors picked up their 32nd win of the season with a 121-105 win over the Clippers at the Staples Center.
Steph shot 11-21 from the field including 8-16 from three before he was shut down with a huge Warriors lead late in the third quarter. The Warriors were +28 when he was on the floor, and he added 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals to fill out the stat sheet.

David West, Nick Young, JaVale McGee and Klay Thompson were the other Warriors to score in double-digits as the bench got plenty of playing time in the fourth quarter. Draymond Green contributed 9 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists and was a +29 during his 28 minutes on Saturday afternoon.
Blake Griffin was forced to leave the game to be evaluated for a concussion after he was hit with an inadvertent elbow to the head from JaVale McGee. The Clippers were unable to create much offense with Griffin in the locker room for a majority of the game.
The Warriors have now won four games in a row, including the last two wins over the Rockets and Clippers coming without Kevin Durant as he continues to nurse a calf injury.
