Not the parts I watched. Boring. The UFC event was much more entertaining.
I refuse to watch any sport where the goal is to give one's opponent a concussion.

Steph hitting threes from Camden. 43 points, Warriors up by 9 with 2:00 to go.

Warriors win, Steph finished with 49. That should enable him to pass Bradley Beall and take the NBA scoring lead.

ESPN posted a graphic at the end of the game showing that in the 10 games prior to this one, Steph was averaging 39.1 ppg and shooting 55% from the field, 49% from three. Tonight he got 49, 15-29, and 11-18. Announcers were incredulous, calling this one of the greatest scoring streaks in the history of the game.

Such a rough start for Steph and the W's. But the finish...magnificent.

From Twitter:

My lord. Steph just had ANOTHER 10 3-pointer game. That’s 21 for his career. Klay has the 2nd most ever with 5. No one else has more than 3 games with 10 made 3s in NBA history.

Steph has 4 in the last 7 days!

Steph Curry from Davidson College is on course to become a Top 10 basketball player of all-time. I don't know who will become #11.

You were there. I suggest watching at every opportunity.

Magic doubles down:

Magic and Lebron are signaling a big push from the Lakers to sign Steph when his contract with the Warriors ends.

GS can pay more than anyone else. At this point they’d be fools not to give him the max. He can be the face of the Warriors forever.

If Lebron is so hot to play with Steph, he should sign w/GSW.

Steph appeared to suffer a mild ankle sprain and kept playing until game's end. It's probably very sore today.

You can like or not like the NBA, or the NBA regular season, but to me watching Steph play is never not fun.

I agree. It was a treat to have him for 3 years at Davidson. So glad I never missed a home game.
