Stephen Curry continues his dominance for the Warriors
Curry has been one of the best guards in the NBA for years. He continues to post some impressive numbers for his Golden State team, despite his age. This season he is shooting better than 47 percent from the floor.

Curry got the scoring going for his team on Friday night. The Warriors veteran made his first three-shots, after missing the last several games with an injury. Curry has been dealing with issues with his quadriceps.
