But Thompson tied it with a three-point play, Iguodala rebounded a miss by Westbrook and passed to Curry, who dribbled upcourt and caught the Thunder’s defense backpedalling. On a night when his All-Star teammate DeMar DeRozan went 1 for 11, Lowry carried the second-seeded Raptors to a thrilling home win over the top-seeded Cavaliers.

No matter the reasons Curry has success, as long as it continues – in real-life, we’re talking now – the better off we all are.
A look at the Warriors’ other game this week could give Kerr some incentive to rest Curry.

Just when we, and especially their opponents, thought everything’s been seen and attained by Curry, he wills his magical powers to blow minds with more stunning tricks of the trade and keeps building on his legacy as an ultimate competitor and victor, as well as a major hardwood heartbreaker, with his most recent victims being the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The last time the Golden State Warriors played the Atlanta Hawks, Stephen Curry “only” hit five 3-pointers and scored 36 points. Golden State got blasted by Dallas and barely beat Houston with Curry out of the lineup earlier this season. Atlanta battled back from a 23-point deficit to take a fourth-quarter lead against the Warriors on February 22 before fading late in a 102-92 setback. The Hawks are third in the National Basketball Association in defensive rating and first over the last 10 games.
