Without Curry, the Warriors were crushed by the Minnesota Timberwolves , 108-83, at Target Center on Monday. Golden State also played without Jimmy Butler , Draymond Green , Al Horford , and Jonathan Kuminga .
Unfortunately for the Jazz, the 37-year-old Curry was in fine form. His first bucket was a three-pointer, surpassing Paul Pierce for 19th place on the all-time scoring list, according to ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel.
It was only appropriate that Curry climbed the ladder on a swish from beyond the arc.
The Warriors outscored the Jazz in the first quarter, 34-24, with Curry contributing eight points.

While he is mostly known for his shooting, it could be argued that the four-time champion is a flat-out scorer, as he could burn opponents in limitless ways. Curry, LeBron James , Kevin Durant , James Harden , and Russell Westbrook are the only active players in the top 20 of the all-time scoring list.
If he stays healthy, he could go as high as 12th place by season's end, leapfrogging over Tim Duncan , Dominique Wilkins, Oscar Robertson, and Hakeem Olajuwon, among others.
But in the meantime, Curry will focus on resuscitating Golden State's campaign . With Butler sidelined for the rest of the way, the two-time MVP will have to do even heavier lifting.
The Warriors are currently in eighth place in the Western Conference with a 26-22 record. They are 6-4 in their last 10 outings.
